[DUG]Timers

[Jeremy North]

Matthew,

Drop a TTimer on a form and set the interval to 10000. (10secs)
Drop a Memo on the form
In the OnTimer event add the following code:

  Memo1.Lines.Add('Enter: ' + FormatDateTime('hh:nn:ss', now));
  sleep(5000);
  Memo1.Lines.Add('Leave: ' + FormatDateTime('hh:nn:ss', now));

>From what you are saying you believe the difference between the Enter
entries in the Memo would be 15 seconds correct?

That is not what I observe.

cheers,
Jeremy
