Hello Mal,

thank you for using my cppTimer!

You assume that cCommand will be evaluated as would be eveluated by a VFP evaluate() command without any object enviroment.
So you must provide a valid object reference.

e.g.:

public goMyForm

goMyForm=thisform

WITH THISFORM
.....SetUpTimer(1,200,"goMyForm.DoThisMethod()")
ENDWITH

I hope this helps.

U.I.: if you don't like public variables, (as me), there is a other way.
I always have an goApp public variable. Add a method to this object like OnCPPTimer:

lparameter tcFormName, tcFormMethod

for i=1 to _screen.FormCount
if _screen.forms[i].name=tcFormName
evaluate("_screen.forms[i]."+tcFormMethod+"()")
exit
endif
endfor


And here is how to start the timer:
WITH THISFORM
.....SetUpTimer(1,200,"goApp.OnCppTimer("+thisform.name+",anymethodname)")
ENDWITH

of course your form name must be unique among other forms.
