Timer not running if FW app not in-focus
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2010 03:42 AM

Hello all,

I tried class oTimer and

nDashTask := HB_BackGroundAdd( {|| uDashUpdate() }, 3000 )
nDashIdle := HB_IdleAdd( {|| HB_BackGroundRun( nDashTask ) } )

On dual-monitor. on the left-side, I modify table via dbu/arc32, on the right-side is the app monitoring changes in 3sec interval...

problem is... if I focus the mouse to the right-side monitor then updates occurs but if mouse/focus remains in right-side... nothing hapens...

Coding problem or what?

Regards,
FAP

Kind Regards,

Frances

As far as I know, the correct syntax for HB_BackGroundAdd() is

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

nDashTask := HB_BackGroundAdd( { @uDashUpdate() }, 3000 )

or

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

nDashTask := HB_BackGroundAdd( { "uDashUpdate" }, 3000 )

Sorry, codeblock syntax is fine too.

EMG,

Thanks for your reply.

Anyway, end-user has only 1 monitor. But this behavior is noticeable in my setup.

Sorry, I haven't a dual monitor to reproduce the problem.
