I've got a timer in a window. Neither the timer nor the window are subclassed from anything else. The timer has a period of 10,000 (10 seconds), and it fires twice in quick succession every 10 seconds.

Thinking that it might be a problem with that particular timer, I dragged a completely fresh timer into the window. I put a MsgBox command in the Action event and set it to 1 seconds, Mode=2 to go off every seconds. And sure enough, every second, I got two MsgBox's.

Don't use a MsgBox since that is a low-level command and can interrupt portions of your code. Instead you should send notification to System.DebugLog to view on OS X Console, or to a Log window within your own app.

I am not saying that your timer is not firing twice (it very well could be), but using a MsgBox like this could mess up your test.

Do you think that you might have two copies of the timer running, or possibly two copies of the Window?
