Hello.
You could maybe try creating an event handler for Application.OnIdle
instead of using timers.
This allows you code in your method assigned to the OnIdle event to be
processed when the application is not busy.
I'm not sure what code you are executing in you timer event, so this
might not help if you only want to execute code at a certain time
regardless of how busy your application is.
Try also looking at Application.ProcessMessages;
All the best,
Mike

I think OnTimer events can be skipped if the machine is busy - I
remember a thread some time ago (a year maybe) about this but can't
remember any details. Have you got some other kind of loop in your
application that could be working really hard, or maybe a resource leak?

I have a couple of applications with a timer loop that is prone to
occasionally freezing after a few hours, not doing anything radical, for
example displaying a date and time.
procedure TfrmJBCLMenu1.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
begin
lblToday.caption:=formatDateTime('dd mmm yy - hh:nn:ss',now);
end;
I noticed when the timer has stopped running that the rest of the
application runs ok, but seems also a bit sluggish, that is buttons respond
but slowly.
I put a bit of wake up code run when certain buttons are pressed like
//clock sometimes freezes...
procedure TfrmJBCLMenu1.WakeClock;
begin
timer1.Enabled:=false;
sleep(500);
timer1.Enabled:=true;
end;
But I am thinking this shouldn't be needed!, and I am not sure it always
fixes it anyway.
Any suggestions to stop timers freezing? Any known problems?
