multi-timer in C55

[Chris Ammann]

Is it possible to set up more than one timer in the same window? Actually clarion doesn't permit several timer but there might be an other template that works around this limitation

 

thanks chris

Hi Chris

You can do something like this:

If you want to have 'A' happen every 10 seconds,  'B' happen every minute and 'C' happen every hour then 

set the timer for 10 seconds (do 'A') and increment variable L:B and L:C.

If L:B is now 6 (60 seconds) set it back to zero and do B.

If L:C is now 360 (1 hour) set it back to zero and do C

etc.

Use the API functions SetTimer, KillTimer. I recommend that you use a
Timerproc callback, simpler than trying to grab timer events in a sub
classed function.

Wow Scott !

Thank you very very much. It works all fine.
We had so much problems before, cuz it needed so much processor performance.

If you throw in a little readme, I'll put it up on CWICWEB so folks can
always get it.
