>I am having trouble with the debugger in VFP6 when a timer is running. The debugger "resets" itself whenever the timer fires. i.e. If I have expanded an object in the Watch or Local window, it will collapse whenever the timer fires. If I have a fast timer running, (.5 secs, to refresh a toolbar, for example) I can barely get a click in.

Put the following in your base timer class' timer event. Add 2 properties to your timer class called iTraceInterval and iregularinterval. In timer.init, set iregularInterval = Timer.Interval and be sure to put DODEFAULT() in all subclasses:

IF WVISIBLE("trace") OR  ;
   WVISIBLE("debugger") OR ;
   WVISIBLE("call") OR ;
   WVISIBLE("watch") OR ;
   WVISIBLE("locals") 
   
   IF THIS.Interval # THIS.iTraceInterval
      THIS.iRegularInterval = THIS.Interval
      THIS.Interval = THIS.iTraceInterval      
   ENDIF

ELSE

   IF THIS.Interval = THIS.iTraceInterval
      THIS.Interval = THIS.iRegularInterval
   ENDIF
   THIS.iRegularInterval = THIS.Interval

ENDIF

This is now a trace aware timer (this code comes with VFP 6.0)
