How to display a temporary iLogic message, just for a couple of seconds?

The standard MsgBox function in an iLogic rule requires user interaction, pressing a button in the message dialog box. But if you need to show just a temporary message, just for a couple of seconds and without confirming, you may use the following iLogic macro "delay" code.

An example - show message for 3 seconds:

Imports System.Threading.Tasks

Dim timeout = 3 ' secs
Dim msg As New Form() With { .Enabled = False }
Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(timeout)).ContinueWith(
  Sub(t) 
    msg.Close() 
  End Sub ,
TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext())
MessageBox.Show(msg, "My temporary message", "MyTitle")
