Joe, You need a thread safe timer. There is one on my website including C++ source code if you need it.
www.replacement-software.co.uk/vfp/cppTimer.zip Also look at my post earlier today under "GetFile() Window Location" where I use API calls to generate an unstoppable timer. I haven't had time to generate the code for the "unmangled timer" as of yet but will do over the next few days and post it onto my blog with a writeup. Meanwhile take a look at the code where you can bind the timer to any windows event. www.replacement-Software.co.uk/vfp/VFP_Dialog_Mover.zip The basics for the timer were gainded off Herman Tan's blog at: http://hermantan.blogspot.com/ Scroll down and look at the section marked "A more reliable timer". Also there is a hires timer at: http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~csnwHighResTimer~VFP Hope this helps. Dave Crozier -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Yoder Sent: 27 March 2008 15:43 To: [email protected] Subject: Measuring short time periods in VFP I have a server that is having problems relaying mail over an EVDO link to the SMTPout.secureserver.net mail server at godaddy.com. I produced a report from two weeks worth of log files that shows days without any errors as well as one day where in about 4.5 hours I had 170 errors. The errors are from winsock either 10060 or 11001. I am writing code to continuously log connection attempts to the godaddy server from machines at several different sites to see if the EVDO link is causing the problem. I want my code to report the length of time it takes in each stage of the connection process as well as whether or not the attempt was a success. I thought I would start a timer when the the connection is initiated and record the value from the timer each time there is a state change from the Winsock control but I can't find a way to access the count within the timer. Is there a way to get accurate sub second time measurment in VFP? Other suggestions?
