Hello folks -
here's a weird one... I'm updating a timer on idle:
On idle
global StartTicks
if StartTicks = "" then exit idle
updateTimer
wait 1 millisecond with messages -- attempt at kludge!
end idle
which just draws an arc graphic to give visual feedback
On updateTimer
global StartTicks, timeLimit
If StartTicks = "" then exit UpdateTimer
put 180+(180/(timeLimit * 60) * (the ticks - StartTicks)) into a
set the startangle of grc "timer" to a
if a >= 360 and StartTicks <> "" then
TimesUp
exit updateTimer
end if
end updateTimer
This goes along fine, timing out after the timelimit ... except that it
doesn't update the display!! If I call "updateTimer" from a repeat
loop, it works fine. Has anyone come across this before? Anyone got a
workaround!?
Works okay here, after I set the arcAngle to something other than a circle.
This is really a job for the "send" command though. If you send the
message only once per second you won't get all that extra stuff in the
pendingmessages.
