I want to say two things.
1.What license does here?
2.Most of us know and @Taifun has already mentioned it in a lot of topics that wait() is not really useful as it seems.

Dint get you

It doesn't use "wait()", it uses different method...

#5

How to get ID to use it?

#6

I believe the ID is just used to identify which wait process is completed:
component_event

Hello KUMARASWAMY

So it doesn't wait for something, such as a download, to complete? Do you have example code to show it's intended purpose?

I test it , i thought it work like delay but it block the button.
When using slider it become very slow.

#14

In short, it blocks any kind of interaction with UI just like what wait() does.

This can work in replacement of clock. As we use clock one time for enabling it a use the yellow block of when timer.

By this extension we won't have to use the timer for waiting or triggering an event after a given time.

Good extension :+1::+1: :+1:
