Timer control not starting

Hi all

I thought I was too grown-up for this by now but.

Timer start works when clicking on timer itself, but not when using a button with Set(VarStart,true) in the Onselect property of the button. And VarStart in the Start property of the timer.

What super simple thing am I missing this time?

Thanks, I really should blog more often, there's quite a few in the backlog but I like to take my time with them and make sure there's lots of diagrams and detailed explanations...

Quality over quantity I guess?

Yes, it does seem a little illogical, however there are times when it makes a lot sense, like when a woman says " Does this dress make me look fat?" A very good example of stopping one's mouth first before the wrong thing comes out.
Thank you
Enjoyed your blog by the way

Hi,

This will be illogical of course, but try setting it to false and then to true.

Set(VarStart,false); Set(VarStart,true)

Cheers
