EvtSetNullEventTick will send you application a nilEvent after at a
specified time. It takes as its parameter the number of ticks after the
last reset at which to send your application the event. TimGetTicks will
give you the number of ticks since the last reset and you can use
SysTicksPerSecond to translate seconds into ticks.
The code could look something like this
Boolean openFormOnNextNilEvent = false;
void SetupNullEvent(UInt8 seconds)
{
openFormOnNextNilEvent = true;
EvtSetNullEventTick(TimGetTicks() + (seconds * SysTicksPerSecond));
}
void EventLoop()
{
EventType event;
do
{
EvtGetEvent(&event, evtWaitForEver);
if (event.eType == nilEvent && openFormOnNextNilEvent)
{
openFormOnNextNilEvent = false;
// Close your startup screen and open your form
}
else
{
// Normal application-level event handling code
}
}
while(event.eType != appStopEvent);
}
