Ben,
implement an event loop like this:
do {
handled = false;
EvtGetEvent (&event, (long)SysTicksPerSecond
()/EVENTSPERSECOND);
handled = SysHandleEvent (&event);
if (!handled)
{
handled = MenuHandleEvent (0, &event, &error);
if (!handled)
{
handled = AppHandleEvent (&event);
if (!handled)
handled = FrmDispatchEvent (&event);
}
}
} while (handled||event.eType!=appStopEvent);
with EVENTSPERSECOND==1 and implement the update of your timer by consuming
the nilEvent that will be posted once a second.
Grüße, Harald

Betreff: Implimenting a countdown timer
I was to have a timer on my form. It will count down. I have made a
form that has my seconds minutes and hours in separate fields. I can
update the timer fields by tapping on a form button, but I would like to
have the code automatically count down.
In what event should I put my code to update the fields every second?
It runs like a clock so I need to update it every second.
