Hello Richard. I am back onto the battery meter project and have been
playing with the nilEvent. I looked at Reptoids. Is it a normal thing to
use a time other than evtWaitForever in the EvtGetEvent() function call? I
assume this helps me to get more nilEvents. Will I also need to use the
EvtSetNullEventTick() function along with this strategy or is this optional?
And the last question, is a timeout of several seconds ok to use or will
this impact system performance in other areas?
Thanks for your help.
