Hi John, many years ago I downloaded a TThreadedTimer component from the Delphi Super Page. It appeared to be very accurate, and I used it often with D3. Not sure if it's available for later Delphi versions, but the code was quite basic and should be compilable. There was a very occasional issue with it being a thread, but they were very few and far between and the benefits far outweighed these. Note that it used Synchronise to call the timer event, so was threadsafe in that respect, but did require your program to be kind. Cheers, Chris. >_______________________________________________ >Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] >http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
