Comments

You can retrieve a Waits collection with the Waits property of the System object. For example:

Dim sys As Object, waits As Object

Set sys = CreateObject("Extra.System")

Set waits = sys.Waits

When used with the Set keyword, the following methods will immediately return a wait-type object, rather that waiting synchronously for their operations to complete:

NavigateTo

ReceiveFile

SendFile

WaitForCursor

WaitForCursorMove

WaitForDisconnect

WaitForKeys

WaitForStream

WaitForString

WaitForTimer

WaitHostQuiet

After retrieving several wait-type objects using the above methods, use the Add method to add them to the Waits collection object. Then, through use of the Wait method, it is possible to simultaneously monitor the status of all the objects in the collection.
