11 | <h2>Waitfor</h2>
|
---|
12 | <h3>Description</h3>
|
---|
13 | <p>Blocks execution until a set of specified conditions become true. This is intended
|
---|
14 | to be used with the <a href="parallel.html">parallel</a> task to
|
---|
15 | synchronize a set of processes.</p>
|
---|
16 | <p>The conditions to wait for are defined in <a href="waitfor.html#nested">nested elements</a>,
|
---|
17 | if multiple conditions are specified, then the task will wait until all conditions are true..</p>
|
---|
18 | <p></p>
|
---|
19 | <p>If both maxwait and maxwaitunit are not specified, the maxwait is 3 minutes (180000 milliseconds).</p>
|
---|
20 | <p>If the <code>timeoutproperty</code> attribute has been set, a
|
---|
21 | property of that name will be created if the condition didn't come
|
---|
22 | true within the specified time.</p>
