A small timer application in practice.
A small timer application in practice.
Hello Dataeaseforum!
I realized a little idea with the timer function:
I wanted a small info window (with more detailed information from the subrecord) opens when you stand with your mouse over a sub form line. But after a short delay! If one moves the mouse to the info window closes again. This beautiful function can be programmed fine with the timer function. It works absolutely stable.
Kind regards
Markus

Hi Markus.
Brilliant.
The TImer() function is so much more than one first imagine.
We use it for delayed action i.e. when you want to execute functions one after the other as well.
We also use it to reformat a manipulated window i.e when you have used MoveObject() to glue things left, right, top, centre etc.
Then we simply check if the main window has changed size and then we re-run the repositioning.
Our goal is to give you - the programmer - all the power we have so you can make your applications work like you want to rather than how we dictate.
