PUBLIC oTool oTool=createobject("myToolbar") oTool.Show() DEFINE CLASS mytoolbar AS toolbar Caption = "Toolbar1" Name = "mytoolbar" ADD OBJECT timer1 AS timer WITH ; Top = 5, ; Left = 5, ; Height = 23, ; Width = 23, ; Name = "Timer1" ENDDEFINE>I am using VFP 5. I have a timer in a toolbar that will be used to refresh the data displayed in the toolbar, this toolbar will be used as a status display for system information. The problem is that the timer doesn't seem to fire unless I click on the toolbar. The timer is enabled and works, I just have to click on it. I noticed that there are a couple of refrences hear about doing this exact thing, so I am hopeing that I am just not doing something right. Any help would be appreciated.
