There is no such beast in the SDK. You will have to program your own timers and its not too hard. Add a trap for nilEvent in your form's event loop and change the second parameter to EvtGetEvent in your main event loop to generate nilEvents periodically (or for when ever you require the event). When your form sees a nilEvent, check the ticks or time to see if your timeout has expired. Some tips: the UI generates nilEvents so don't assume every nilEvent you see is meant for your timer. Don't have your event handler return always return 'true' for every nilEvent. You could also use the alarm feature of the OS but its time resolution is not very good. -----Original Message----- From: Subrata Chakrabarty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Palm Developer Forum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, May 18, 2000 12:18 PM Subject: Timer >How do I create a Timer in Palm .
