Process data in time intervals

[dEraCh2000]

Hi,

I need to create an aplication that reads, processes data and displays the result on screen and repeats the same process over an over again in small time intervals.
I was wondering if someone could point me in the rigth direction, or could provide an example?


Kind regards
Armin

Hi Armin,

Use the Timer ::

1) Set the Timer milliseconds on the window properties (second page) - This enables the EVENT:Timer embed on the Window Events. Setting a value of 100 would fire the event every second.
2) Create local variables - LastRunDate DATE & LastRunTime TIME
3) In the EVENT:Timer embed, add the following code ::
IF TODAY() <> LastRunDate OR CLOCK() < LastRunTime OR (CLOCK() - LastRunTime) > 6000 ! 6000 = 1 minute
0{PROP:Timer} = 0

... do your processing or call a routine ...

LastRunDate = TODAY()
LastRunTime = CLOCK()

0{PROP:Timer} = 100 ! or whatever value you set initially
END
