Let's say you had an auction type web application (like Ebay) built with a vfp mtdll. To make it simple, it would be nice if the application knew to fire off periodically the results of auctions or warnings of being outbid. I've seen php applications do this by requiring a user to hit the page and then checking some variable. But that seems pretty lame and too dependent on user input. There are undoubtedly other ways to accomplish this even with an mtdll but keeping all of the application in a vfp mtdll keeps it all in a nice tidy package.
>>But frankly why do you need timers inside of a DLL server? If you're calling from just about any other environment than Fox it's likely to have >>timer functionality natively on that platform. Let the client platform handle the timer firing and pass the processing off to VFP from there...
