there are many possibilities, but probably most simple approach is to use 1 second timeout with EvtGetEvent and then on every received event including nilEvent you can chack if second changed since last time and if yes update counter. it may be unprecise because processing of some events can take more then seconds, but in general it should work
you may also try to use alarm (i read somewhere that it has problem with too little values) or fixed loop with SysTaskDelay (but you probably want to do some event processing so it may be not good idea)or high precision timer using library available on modern devices (i never played with it) Ben Rittgers wrote: > I was to have a timer on my form.
