FARR.setInterval(id, millisecond, pFunc);

[czb]

Hi,
does it work inside javascript? I have tried it, but pFunc was allways called immediately.

what is setinterval?

Javascript timers
This is not related to FARR itself but to the writing plugins with javascript bit.

justice: I see... and does it work for you?

I have tried following code and I get variance of type error (tranlated from czech) with setInterval and then I also get that FARR.killInterval(id); is not supported by object... any idea what to do with it?

Code: (javascript)

// plugin script :
displayname="FScript";
versionstring="1.0.0";
releasedatestring="Jan 1st, 2008";
author="Author";
updateurl="";
homepageurl="";
shortdescription="FScript";
longdescription="FScript";
advconfigstring="FScript";
readmestring="FScript";
iconfilename="FScript.ico";

aliasstr="aa";
regexstr="";
regexfilterstr="";
keywordstr="";
scorestr="300";

// type
UNKNOWN=0; FILE=1; FOLDER=2; ALIAS=3; URL=4; PLUGIN=5; CLIP=5;
// Postprocessing
IMMEDIATE_DISPLAY=0; ADDSCORE=1; MATCH_AGAINST_SEARCH=2;
// search state
STOPPED=0; SEARCHING=1;

function test(){
  FARR.debug("test");
}

function onSearchBegin(querykey, explicit, queryraw, querynokeyword) {
	if(!explicit) {
		return;
	}
  FARR.setInterval(1, 5000, test());
  FARR.killInterval(1);
}

Hello czechboy and other happy JScript developers. The JScript SDK bug on setInterval and killInterval is fixed. In fact as nobody, included myself was using it, it had been humm... removed. Get the last JScript SDK at :

http://e.craft.free.fr/farr/FScript/

The fix is included in the version 1.3

I hope this topic is appropriate

I'd like to be able to use the return value of a Date object's getTime method for the id of setInterval.  I think currently it may cause an overflow -- at least that's the sort of message I'm getting via Script Debugger.

Would this be an easy / worthwhile change to setInterval in fscript.dll?

I'm currently using version 1.20 -- at least that's what the file's properties indicate.

Thanks for the consideration -- and below is a quote from MDC's documentation on Date objects:

getTime
    Returns the numeric value of the specified date as the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC (negative for prior times).
