Hi all,
i am implementing a simple timer to check the status of an object every 5 sec. I came across this post, https://forums.jadeworld.com/viewtopic. ... imer#p3565, which mentioned about timer, but i tried and cant mange to get the timer working. the following is how i implemented,

i tried to write a test code in JadeScript:
vars
reg:Register; // a object i have
begin
create reg transient;


beginClassNotification(Register, true,User_Base_Event, Response_Continuous,1);
reg.beginTimer(5000, Timer_Continuous ,1);
end;

in the Register class, i created a timerEvent method, in the method:

timerEvent(eventTag: Integer) updating;

vars

begin
if eventTag=1 then
write 'show me';
endif;
end;

i dont know where goes wrong, please advices. Thanks!

Ken,

1. The beginClassNotification is somewhat redundant in the context of timer event processing, so unless you have other reasons for having this is your code I would remove it.

2. Trying to test a timer from a JadeScript is probably not a good way to test it as your JadeScript, and therefore your application that registered the timer, will terminate before the timer has the opportunity to fire after the 5 second delay period. Try putting your timer code into say a button click on a simple test form so that your application does not terminate prior to the timer event firing.

Hi BeeJay!
Thanks for your reply! u r the guy that i am looking for, the post u posted earlier was where i understand about timerevent. i see.. i will remove the beginnotification. Thanks for your advise! i will try it.

oh, its working! thanks BeeJay!

It's worth noting that depending on what you're actually trying to achieve there may be better options available to you than using a timer to check the status of an object every 5 seconds.

I was merely indicating in my reply why you were not seeing your timer events firing via a JadeScript, but are getting them when running via an application that doesn't terminate before the timer is due to fire.
