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?

Hi,

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

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

Cheers

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

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?
