Hello List !

I was pondering to create a little utility application for myself, and have many repeating timers, at various intervals. I'm not sure this'll quite work as I'm thinking, but in the code for each timer, if I set the period=0 for every -other- timer, and then re-enable them to 2 at the end, will this ensure that only ever 1 timer at a time is firing ?

Timers should never fire at the same time -- the second timer will wait for the first timer's Action event to return before firing. This happens automatically as Timer's Action events are all on the same thread. You shouldn't need to write any code to ensure that only one timer fires at any given time.

HTH,
Jon
