Joe, I assume you have two timers active then? 1. Have you disabled the timer so that it cannot fire whilst the timer event is active? I.e first command in Timer event -> This Enabled=.F. and the last command This.Enabled=.T. before the return.
2. Have you put in a DoEvents command in the Timer loop to make sure that standard windows events are processed in the loop? Other than that, could use more information on the code you have in the timer event(s) before offering suggestions. Dave Crozier -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Yoder Sent: 18 September 2007 16:42 To: [email protected] Subject: Killing time while waiting for a timer event I have a simple program where I send a command to a device and setup a timer to write "DONE" to a form property when 100 milliseconds have elapsed. The program then sits in a loop waiting until the the form property changes to "DONE" before proceeding to process the results. When I run the code the program hangs in the loop permanently. When I step through with the debugger everything seems to work properly. When I put a wait window inside the wait loop, the program exits the loop properly. There is obviously something I don't understand. Can someone help?
