In my app I use nilEvent to check the time interval. It works well in all forms except one form that is called by FrmDoDialog.
For this specific form, I call FrmInitForm, FrmSetEventHandler and then FrmDoDialog. The handler finally does get the nilEvent but after about 5 seconds, while the delay in EvtGetEvent is only some time ticks. All other forms get nilEvent very often whenever they are active.
Is there anything special I need to pay attention to in this case ?
In the FrmDoDialog call, you've got a new event loop where your EvtGetEvent isn't being called. You need to call EvtSetNullEventTick to set the nilEvent timeout before calling FrmDoDialog to get them on a regular basis.
