waitDepth
Type
function
Summary
Returns the number of nested wait commands currently pending.
Syntax
the waitDepth
waitDepth()
Description
Use the waitDepth function to determine how many wait commands are currently awaiting completion.
The wait with messages form of the wait command, when used in a handler, pauses that handler while allowing LiveCode to execute other handlers while waiting. The waitDepth function indicates how many such statements are currently executing--that is, how many handlers are currently paused by a wait with messages statement.
If there are no paused handlers, the waitDepth function returns 1.
Examples

if the waitDepth > 10 then beep
