WaitForIdle stops script. Why ?

Tue, 18 Jan 2011 10:31:19 GMT

Good day,

I'm using VB script to export some data from my QV application.

My export is simple :

-Make the selection
- ActiveDocument.GetApplication.WaitForIdle
- Activate sheet of the graph
- ActiveDocument.GetApplication.WaitForIdle
- Export

This works fine on small applications.

Unfortunately, when I do so on a big application, the "ActiveDocument.GetApplication.WaitForIdle" statement stops the script.

If I try to catch the error with this code :


on error resume next
 ActiveDocument.GetApplication.WaitForIdle

 if err.number <> 0 then
 MsgBox "Error number:" & Err.Number & " ; Description : " & Err.Description
 end if

I have the following :

Is there a way to avoid this error ?

How can I wait for my application to be "ready to export" ?

Hi guys,

I get the same problem on V10. I didn't check on V9.

I think that's a bug.

Anyway, I tried this like you posted :

on error resume next

qvDoc.GetApplication.WaitForIdle

and just that, I don't catch the error and the export is working...

I know that not really nice to do that and it doesn't fix the bug but the export is working like this...

I will look for an answer later.

Hi,

I solved this by just putting a timeout value after WaitForIdle, e.g.

qvDoc.GetApplication.WaitForIdle 1000

Worked perfectly.
