Hi Sruthi,
I'm going to assume that you want to call this function while your app is
running.
Your main app event loop should look something like
#define FUNCTION_INTERVAL_MS 250L
void AppEventLoop(void)
{
UInt32 nextFunctionTick;
Int32 evtTimeOut;
UInt32 nowTick;
UInt32 functionTickInterval;
EventType event;
functionTickInterval = (FUNCTION_INTERVAL_MS * SysTicksPerSecond ()) / 1000L;
nextFunctionTick = TimGetTicks() + functionTickInterval;
evtTimeOut = 10; /* put a reasonable value here, say half of any regular
event */
do
{
EvtGetEvent(&event, evtTimeOut);
nowTick = TimGetTicks();
if (nowTick >= nextFunctionTick)
{
function(); /* your function call here */
nextFunctionTick += functionTickInterval;
}
if (! SysHandleEvent(&event))
if (! MenuHandleEvent(0, &event, &error))
if (! appHandleEvent(&event)) FrmDispatchEvent(&event);
}
while(event.eType != appStopEvent);
}
