If you just need a hard delay, then you can use SysTaskDelay(Int32 ticks) If event processing must continue, then you can use the nilEvent and TimGetTicks() or TimGetSeconds() to look for a specific target time.
In your EvtGetEvent (EventType *event, Int32 timeout) statement put in a timeout of maybe 50 and a nilEvent will be generated every 0.5 seconds or so. There are 100 ticks per second (see SysTicksPerSecond() ) nilEvent A nilEvent is useful for animation, polling, and similar situations. The event manager sends this event when there are no events in the event queue. This can happen if the routine EvtGetEvent is passed a time-out value (a value other than evtWaitForever, -1). If EvtGetEvent is unable to return an event in the specified time, it returns a nilEvent. Different Palm OS versions and different devices can send nilEvents under different circumstances, so you might receive a nilEvent even before the timeout has expired.
