Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / September 2005timer under carbon
Hello I can't find how to create a timer under carbon. What i need is something in milliseconds ( the equivalent of CreateTimer under windows ) Any help appreciated. thank you pat > I can't find how to create a timer under carbon.

Note that the argument is a float, not an int--that threw me off too at first. >> It's in seconds, i'm looking for something in milliseconds or more. > > Note that the argument is a float, not an int--that threw me off too at > first. Haa great, awesome, works like a charm. Thanks a lot. pat. Wouldn't it have been easier, faster, and less trouble for everyone if you'd just spend a few seconds looking at the declarations in the headers? Do you really need a mailing list to understand this: extern OSStatus InstallEventLoopTimer( EventLoopRef inEventLoop, EventTimerInterval inFireDelay, EventTimerInterval inInterval, EventLoopTimerUPP inTimerProc, void * inTimerData, EventLoopTimerRef * outTimer); typedef double EventTime; typedef EventTime EventTimeout; typedef EventTime EventTimerInterval; Or did you not know what a "double" was? Larry (who can't understand why so many programmers think not reading anything is a good way to save time) Did you realise that every post you make in this group is an angry post ? i am really sorry that you have a sad life. Just go do some volunteer work or something, you'll see that asking a question in a newsgroup isn't that much trouble for everyone as you think.

They save time (or so they perceive) and then they go running to mailing lists when they don't understand something they *would* have understood if they'd spent, in some cases, even one minute researching it. Mailing lists like this are great for getting help with tricky stuff, but to use them in place of acquiring a knowledge of the technologies you're using is misusing mailing lists IMO. When you read documentation, you get a broader understanding of a technology. When you read the headers you find APIs and constants you didn't know existed and that you may be able to use one day. When you come to a mailing list, you generally get little more than the answer to a specific question, and in the long run that's not nearly as good as the broader understanding you get from taking time to study things out for yourself.
