[Gambas-user] How to use MessageView when closing a form?

[Bruce Steers]

I mean something like how Shell/Exec can use Wait or not. Something like
that but for any Sub/Function/etc like Try can prefix anything (almost)

A function prefix (Do sounds good, Run would make sense) that would run the
function/Sub asynchronous, so the event handler would just trigger the
comnand in another process/timer and exit.

That's how I exit my event handlers quickly. The event handler triggers a
timer and ends, the timer runs the commands.

Hope that makes sense.
Wishing well
