>i have a question. will timer continues to fire even if my user hasn't pressed "ok" in my messagebox?
I think it should NOT fire if you disable it on purpose. That is why I suggested disabling it. But I leave the testing for you.
If it is left enabled... I just tested, yes, it will continue to fire. You can check it on your own, with this sample program:
x = CreateObject("MyTimer")
MessageBox("Hello, Evelyn, click 'OK' to end the test.")
define class MyTimer as Timer
Interval = 1000
Procedure Timer
?? chr(7)
Endproc
enddefineThe "beep" (chr(7)) will be heard once a second.
Tested with VFP 6.
I think that VFP can postpone running the Timer when VFP is very busy, for example, executing a long query.
