On-screen display not working in executable

[InterestedNewbie]

When I run the script from within QM it works fine and the on-screen text is properly displayed. However, when compiled to an executable the on-screen display section is not showing at all, inserting extra wait time doesn't seem to matter (the rest of the script works btw).

Code:

Copy      Help

act
0.5
key Cc
_s.getsel(); _s.setfile("$Documents$\data.txt" -1 -1 1)
2
OnScreenDisplay "Text saved" 2

If I use a regular Message Box it will probably work but then the user will have to press the OK button every time. I believe there is a timeout function for Message Boxes, but I cannot find it anymore.....

Use OnScreenDisplay flag 2. Or wait several seconds after calling OnScreenDisplay.

Waiting several seconds after calling OnScreenDisplay seems to work. Thanks!

Thanks Kevin, the timeout function works great. Message box is a better visible solution in this case.
