Waits until the condition is signalled. Waits until the condition is signalled.
\func{bool}{Wait}{\param{unsigned long}{ sec}, \param{unsigned long}{ nsec}} This method atomically releases the lock on the mutex associated with this
condition (this is why it must be locked prior to calling Wait) and puts the
thread to sleep until \helpref{Signal}{wxconditionsignal} or
\helpref{Broadcast}{wxconditionbroadcast} is called.
Waits until the condition is signalled or the timeout has elapsed. Note that even if \helpref{Signal}{wxconditionsignal} had been called before
Wait without waking up any thread, the thread would still wait for another one
Note that the mutex associated with this condition {\bf must} be acquired by and so it is important to ensure that the condition will be signalled after
the thread before calling this method. Wait or the thread may sleep forever.

The second form returns {\tt TRUE} if the condition has been signalled, or Returns {\tt wxCOND\_NO\_ERROR} on success, another value if an error occured.

\func{wxCondError}{Wait}{\param{unsigned long}{ milliseconds}}
Waits until the condition is signalled or the timeout has elapsed.
This method is identical to \helpref{Wait}{wxconditionwait} except that it
returns, with the return code of {\tt wxCOND\_TIMEOUT} as soon as the given
timeout expires.
\wxheading{Parameters}
\docparam{milliseconds}{Timeout in milliseconds}
\wxheading{Return value}
Returns {\tt wxCOND\_NO\_ERROR} if the condition was signalled,
{\tt wxCOND\_TIMEOUT} if the timeout elapsed ebfore this happened or another
error code from wxCondError enum.
