On one of my forms I am trying to use the nilEvent to update a label that is
acting as a timer. Problem is that when I run it on my T3 the timer only
updates every 5 to 6 seconds.
It appears as though either:
a) the nilEvents are getting "gobbeld" up before they get to my forms Event
Handler
or
b) nilEvents are not being generated during periods of "inactivity"
I am using EvtGetEvent(&event, 0); so according to the API reference should
generate nilEvents between other events immediately.
Anyone attempt to do a simliar thing? I don't care if I get too many
nilEvents, it just seems I am not getting enough.
My event loop looks like this (the state==active is used to see if the timer
is activated or not):
static void EventLoop(void)
{
Err error;
EventType event;
// Main event loop
do
{
// Check to see if we should generate nilEvents more frequently
if (state == active) {
EvtGetEvent(&event, 0);
} else {
EvtGetEvent(&event, evtWaitForever);
}
if (!SysHandleEvent(&event))
{
if (!MenuHandleEvent(0, &event, &error))
{
if (!ApplicationHandleEvent(&event))
FrmDispatchEvent(&event);
}
}
while (event.eType != appStopEvent);
}
