ProcessSystemEvents within timer callback

[Guillaume Dargaud]

Hello all, long time no see,

I have some 'general protection faults' that sometimes happen when I call
ProcessSystemEvents() from within a timer callback, even if I disable the
timer before.
Maybe the reason has nothing to do with the timer, but are there any
limitations to what you can do in a standard UIR timer callback ?

Thanks.

No, there shouldn't be any restrictions on using ProcessSystemEvents from within a timer callback. Just be aware that timer callbacks are not reentrant, therefore the ProcessSystemEvents call will not result in a nested invocation of a callback for that timer.

Thanks Luis.
It's OK about the non-reentrancy, I was disabling it before calling
ProcessSystemEvent anyway.
There must be some other cause for my problem, like a pointer of loose
morality somewhere.
