Loop a msg until bool ture

ehammarin

Hey, 

I have a msg line that i want to show until a bool is true.. How can i do this the easy way? I dont want to press any buttons for the robot to move on. Its on robotware 5.16

        WHILE OkToSorter()=TRUE AND OkToPick_1()=FALSE DO

                !

                st1:="Empty";

                st2:="Empty";

                st3:="Empty.";

                UIMsgBox

            \Header:="Empty",

            st1

            \MsgLine2:=st2

            \MsgLine3:=st3

            \Buttons:=btnOk

            \Icon:=iconWarning

            \Result:=ButtonAnswer

            \MaxTime:=2

            \BreakFlag:=err_var;

                !

            ENDWHILE

            !

        ENDIF

If it's possible to use a signal (DI or DO) instead you could use dibreak / dobreak. Or maybe use a maxtime to close the messagebox and then show it again in your while-loop.

Or you could do as Lemster suggested and use a tpwrite instruction.

tpwrite "Waiting for condition.."; !Shows message on tpu
waituntil OkToSorter()=FALSE OR OkToPick_1()=TRUE;
tperase; !Clears tpu log

Why not use a simple TPWrite?
