Timers stop when you move panels

[Giles]

I am using 5.0
Does anyone know of a workaround for the timers stopping when someone clocks
on a panel and moves it?

Best regards,
Giles

Hello Giles,
I haven't tried the case you described here, however if you wanna work with
timers there's a better way to so: The CVI has an interface functions library
to the Win32 multimedia timers, where the timers handles are independed from
the panel: In your CVI project, choose add file -> *.fp then go to C:\cvi\toolslib\toolbox
and select the asynchtimers.fp file or some file with a simillar name, (
I don't remember exactly the filename)

I will try your suggestion tomorrow, and let you know of the result.
Right now, I finished up programming for the evening and will start again
tomorrow.

Best regards,
Giles

Hi,
It appears to me that it may not be possible (at all) not to lose data (and.
keep timer working)
while you click on a panel with intent to move it and move it.
But someone/others may disagree.

The reason it happens (in case anyone's curious!) is because of a vagary of how Windows works - it essentially "locks up" your computer whenever you move, resize, or zoom a window. This causes me all kinds of headaches when trying to write "real-time-enough" software.
