Currently I make a call to a program with the command as the parameter. The device is on a USB to com port cable and issues the infrared flash. I have the procedure issue three cycles with a brief sleep command between or I get a device not available. My only real option would be to get the device manufacturer to help with a direct com port procedure to repeat the specific flash while mouse press. I understand the task but I probably need help from whoever makes the smart-linc device Your suggestions from all you guys is greatly appreciated.

On the Mouse Up event, disable the timer. This timer will fire the even you need. [btnVolumeDown.MouseDown] THISFORM.tmrVolumeDown.Started = .T. THISFORM.tmrVolumeDown.Enabled = .T. [btnVolumeDown.MouseUp] THISFORM.tmrVolumeDown.Enabled = .F. [tmrVolumeDown.Timer] IF THIS.Started = .T. OR THIS.Enabled = .T. {adjust volume} ENDIF THIS.Started = .F. [VolumeDown.Init] ADDPROPERTY(THIS, "Started", .F.) The Started property added and used ensures at least 1 process will go through for a single click. No code will go in the btnVolumeDown click event.
