You'll have to do it in your event loop, instead of using EvtGetEvent() with waitforever. You can call it with a timeout in ticks, it will generate a nilEvent if there are no other events to despatch. Respond to the nilEvent by calling TimGetTicks, and comparing it to the last time you were called with a nilEvent. The smaller the number you set in the timeout in EvtGetEvent the more accurate you can do timings, but remember, the more you get called with nilEvents using this method, the more battery power you use up, so set it to the largest value that can still give you the accuracy you need. That's how we do it with animation in one of our projects. Hope that makes sense. Cheers John
