Events are a signal that something is happening. If nothing is
happening, why would you get any events? If you need events with a
certain regularity, use the timeout parameter to EvtGetEvent. Note that
this guarantees a maximum time between events, not an event every X
milliseconds. If you're doing animation or other timing-dependent
activities be sure to check the clock.
