B4J Question Wait For (Object.runmethod()) ?

[GuyBooth]

Code I am trying to run that reads a music file seems to be time sensitive - I am assuming for now that it takes too long to read the information and pass it back to its calling sub, which leads to inconsistent results.

The line of code is:

    HasField = TagSet.RunMethod("hasField", Array(Field))
    If HasField Then
        TagValue = TagSet.runmethod("getFirst", Array(Field))
... etc

Is it possible to use runmethod asynchronously, using statements like the following:

    Wait For (TagSet.RunMethod("hasField", Array(Field))) Complete (HasField As Boolean)
    Log($"HasField ${Field} is ${HasField}"$)
    If HasField Then
            Wait For (TagSet.RunMethod("getFirst", Array(Field))) Complete (TagValue As String)
... etc

I have tried the Wait For statements as shown but the program just stops and waits at the first Wait For statement.

No. Wait For has nothing to do with background threads.
