- Scope of DelayBeforeClosing
DelayBeforeClosing (Function) In french: DélaiAvantFermeture Limits the display duration of a window or dialog box. If no user action is performed, when the specified amount of time is reached: - for a window, the code of a window button will be run.
- for a dialog box, the dialog box is automatically closed. For question or confirmation dialog boxes, the default button corresponds to the expected answer.
The amount of time specified for the automatic closing is ignored in the following cases: - when the user clicks a button.
- if the user modifies a control.
- if the user presses any keyboard key.
Remark: The following dialog boxes are taken into account: By default, the dialog boxes are locking: the application is locked as long as these windows are opened.  New in version 28
// Close the dialog box in 2 seconds
DelayBeforeClosing(200)
Error("The application will be ended")
EndProgram()
// Run the code of BTN_CloseButton in 5 seconds
DelayBeforeClosing(MyWindow, BTN_Close, 500)
// The code of BTN_Close button calls the Close function
