Check the time with two timers. For example, the first timer will be raised for example each hour. And when it is past 23:00, start another timer with a more precise resolution to check when midnight is reached. You can use more timers. It depends on which precision you need. But beware that there is only one thread in Gambas, so a too long event handler prevents other events to be raised.
