InvokeLater varying Client Experience

[pturmel]

Fixed time delays are a terrible solution for varying operational delays. Try something like the techniques from this topic:

Update GUI via Asynchronous thread

OK. I’ve poked myself with the futures idea. Grab the latest version of later.py, then try this: def asyncInvoked(): # do something in the background shared.later.callLater(system.gui.messageBox, "Please Press OK").get() # do something after OK is pressed system.util.invokeAsynchronous(asyncInvoked) Note the use of .get() to wait for system.gui.messageBox to complete. This updated later.py includes an emulation of invokeLater for gateway scope. Untested and unsupported! Edit: Realized…

Promises are roughly equivalent to Java's "CompletableFuture".
