I'm working on a project that uses a bunch of repeat loops, including some pretty heavy ones that are doing some app control. I'm having trouble getting a timer field in one of my MIAWs to update while these loops are going. I've tried to "tell" the window timer to update but that didn't seem to work. Any recommendations?
