How do I stop the timer firing while in a timer event?
Lets say I have a timer, tim1, on a form.
If the first line of the tim1.timer() event is
this.enabled= .F.
shouldn't that stop the timer firing again.
Yet if I debug and step through the code, the timer keeps firing.
If I put
this.interval= 0
in the first line the debugger stops and looses its place.
I'm sure I used to be able to do this somehow??
Also, if my timer() code takes 2 seconds to run and the interval is set to 500 milliseconds, the timer seems to re-fire whilst in the middle of the code execution. Should that be?
