Timer in VFP COM DLL

I have written a VFP Multithreaded Com DLL and in my VCX lbrary, I have
created a shutdowntimer class based on the Timer Class. n this class I have
put code into the Timer Event to do what it needs to do.

I have put the folloing into my initianlisation code for the COM DLL:

PUBLIC ShutDownTimer

ShutDownTimer = CREATEOBJECT("ShutDownTimer")

ShutDownTimer.Enabled = .T.

ShutDownTimer.Interval=10000



However, the timer never seems to fire.

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers

The vfp timer will not work in a VFP mtdll. You'd need to use a C++ timer
like the one here:

There is some vfp code for it here:
