[tigrot]

Hi everybody,

Thank you!

Can you elaborate on that? What exactly do you want to do? If what you need it to repeat an action while the button is pressed do a " Do While state = True" in the state changed event

 

[tigrot]

Yes. I need to have a repeated event while a button is pressed. I'm thinking to check in user loop the status of the button, if pressed for a fixed time(repetition delay) start event repetition every n msec(repetion time). If button is released clear everything. So no need for a timer. I'll tell you when I'll test...

So, if I understand right, you and to only trigger the event after X elapsed time (?)
A timer would be a much easier solution to implement and maintain...
Btw , viva Portugal too!

Thinking of if it would be possible to do without the timer, by using a small loop inside the state changed event, to establish if the delay condition is met and then trigger the action you need

From Portugal? Never been there, must have a trip to Lisboa! I know a little spanish, but no Portoguese!

You'll get along just fine in English too, just target under 40yo persons when needing directions

My mind is out... I was thinking that B4R allows to write some code in main loop, but I'm not able to find the sub name where to insert my code, like I do with others. You are right better a small timer, 1 for all buttons.

You can add a loop if you like: Timers, Loopers and CallSubPlus
