Timer running fast ?

[hilldweller]

I've written a multi lap stopwatch. It uses a timer running 1 second ticks. Works well, untill.....

I change orientation.

Change V->H program resets, start and timer is 0.5 sec

Change H->V program restarts, timer is 0.25 sec.

I'm guessing it's generating an extra timer call or timer each restart.

Same error on PC emulator and on ZT180 2.2 tablet.

Help please !

Brian.

PS it's a lovely working environment, a bit slow, but enjoyable.
=====================
create first time:
Timer1.Initialize("Timer1",1000)
Timer1.Enabled = True


Sub Timer1_Tick
If flag1 Then
seconds1 = seconds1 + 1
E_Time.Text = FormatTime(seconds1)
End If

If flag2 Then
seconds2 = seconds2 + 1
E_Time2.Text = FormatTime(seconds2)
End If
End Sub

I guess this an Android query posted in the Pocket PC forum. It looks like you have probably declared your Timer in Globals and a new one is being instantiated every time you change orientation. Timers should be declared in Process_Globals.

Oops sorry but thanks for the tip.
