I found that timers simply do not seem to work in dll's.
OK, make an EXE and it works.

The questions are

1. Why is that so? Does it have anything to do with the
in proc approach?

2. Why no documentation at all; no errors either? You can
do anything with a timer with the minor drawback that
it simply does not fire <g>.

Is that a bug, a feature or a thats why?
