New topic in General: Executing methods at a specific time
hanaan - Tue Apr 22, 2008 9:49 pm <http://forums.realsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?t=21987> Hi, I looked for answers for this in the forum but got no where, so looking to see if someone has a solid answer for this. I'm creating a cross platform FTP app with polling requirements. I need to allow the user to specify a start and end time, and have the app poll the FTP site for revised files every 15 minutes during that time. In short, I need to be able to execute a method at, say, 6PM. I can take it from there. I could just start a timer, and every 2 minutes see if the time has come, but I'm not sure how efficient it would be. Is there a built-in way to trigger a method? Preferably inside RB or using plug in. Thanks! Hanaan -- Over 900 classes with 18000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in.
