Question and Answer Database FAQ1283D.txt TTimer not firing at correct interval Category :VCL Platform :All Product :All 32 bit Question: When I create the TTimer component, it does not fire at the correct specified time. How can I get more accurate results? Answer: Windows timer event were not designed to accommodate hi-resolution timing. In other words, while you may set the timer to fire every 1000 milliseconds, it may fire sometimes at intervals longer than 1000 milliseconds. Values below 55 milliseconds will never fire on time under Windows, since this is the Timer components minimum resolution. You can get the time during the timer event and compare it to the last time the event fired to receive a better timing resolution. 7/16/98 4:31:28 PM
