Hello

I have found this code in Giovanni's HMG Tutorial:
/*

#include "hmg.ch"

FUNCTION Main()

DEFINE WINDOW Form_1 ;
AT 90,90 ;
WIDTH 250 ;
HEIGHT 150 ;
MAIN
END WINDOW

DEFINE TIMER tempo ;
PARENT Form_1 ;
INTERVAL 1000 ;
ACTION print_clock()

Form_1.Activate

RETURN NIL

FUNCTION print_clock()
Form_1.title := time()
RETURN NIL

*/
perhaps this may help you.

Regards

Hi Mol

Code: Select all



  DEFINE WINDOW Form_1            ;
	AT 0, 0                   ;
	WIDTH 405 HEIGHT 405      ; 
	TITLE ""                  ;
        MAIN 
        
        ON KEY ESCAPE ACTION  Form_1.Release )

    
        DEFINE TIMER Timer_1 INTERVAL 1000  ACTION (RELEASE MEMORY)
   
        DEFINE TIMER Timer_2 ;
              INTERVAL 100 ;
              ACTION { || thisWindow.Row := 175, thisWindow.Col := 480 }     // <==  Does not let the window move

...

Form_1.Timer_1.Value := nInterval //change timer's interval
You can only set new interval, can't read actual value by "Value"

You can read interval by: _HMG_SYSDATA [ 8 ] [ GetControlIndex (ControlName,ParentForm) ] => timer's interval current value

The sample:

Code: Select all

#include "hmg.ch"

Function Main

	DEFINE WINDOW Form_1 ;
		AT 0,0 ;
		WIDTH 400 ;
		HEIGHT 400 ;
		TITLE 'Timer Test' ;
		MAIN 

		DEFINE TIMER Timer_1 ;
		INTERVAL 3000 ;
		ACTION TimerTest() 

	END WINDOW

	ACTIVATE WINDOW Form_1

Return

Procedure TimerTest()
	Local nInterval := _HMG_SYSDATA [  8 ] [ GetControlIndex ( 'Timer_1', 'Form_1') ] 	// timer's interval current value

	Form_1.Timer_1.Enabled := .F.
	MsgInfo ('Timer ' + hb_ValToStr ( nInterval / 1000 ) + ' sec.')
	IF nInterval > 1000
		nInterval -= 1000
		Form_1.Timer_1.Value := nInterval		//change timer's interval 
	ENDIF
	Form_1.Timer_1.Enabled := .T.

Return
