>>Do a loop with the timer contained in it. The timer will expire and the loop will cycle. At this point the system should check resources. Another trick is to check system time against the value when you started. This way you can timeout after (ie) 15 minutes of inactivity.

Vlad

Call a method you made (ie) MyTimer(). Loop & in the loop check a property you make (ie) KillTimer (among others). Have the KeyPress() method set the value of KillTimer.
