Multiple timers in the same window

[Former Member]

PB 9.0.2

Have a window with multiple data windows each on a different tab page.

Is there a way of doing multiple timers so that one I can have one refresh off one timer and a second refresh of a second timer?

Or is there a way of saying at this interval, say every 5 seconds, do this set off commands/events on this data window and every 30 seconds this set of commands on this data window?

Thanks!

In doing some more digging, the documentation says create a user object from the timer system object.  And then create multiples from that.  Ok.  What is the timer system object?  Where might I find it to create a user object?

I think you are referring to the timing object, not timer.

From the menu -
File, New: Select the PB Object tab
Within the tab, select Standard Class, click OK
Within the type dialog, select the timing class.

But be careful what you seek.  Having your application remain responsive to the user and the OS while also handling whatever activities you plan in these multiple timing processes can be problematic.
