question to named timer

Post by seal58 »

Hi,
I'm working on pulses with use of Named Timer.
At the beginning I became confused, because set time was over just when timer was started. Then I found, that named timer fires in Notify() already just after StartNamedTimer() was called.
I could solve this by using second firing. But I'd want to know, if this is a regular timer behaviour?

Apparently it is. This has been wasting a while of my time too figuring this out......

I think the named timer event should include longValue being set to the number of times the timer has fired since starting, with the initial firing being 0.

This proposal is not bad and should be used as feature request for VMD. Such a counter could be useful for many purposes. :idea:
