[wxperl-users] Wx::Timers

[Darryl R. <bo...@af...>]

Hey All,

Just got a quick question in regards to Wx::Timers. The WxWidgets manual 
says that timers on Win32 are 'limited resource'. I was just wondering 
how limited.

In my application I need to have two timers running. One fires every 
300-odd milliseconds to update a calculation on screen. The other fires 
every 30 seconds or so and acts to send a keepalive to the server.

My application starts the keepalive timer early and it should be running 
at all times the program is running to send information about the status 
of the program back to the server. The screen update timer only runs on 
one particular screen. The problem I am seeing is that when the screen 
update timer starts, the keepalive timer does not fire, even though 
Wx::Timer->IsRunning() returns true.

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be the case?

Regards
Darryl
