I've attempted using idle handlers to count seconds with an ASStudio
application. Counting seconds decreases application performance severely,
and while my application was a GUI front end for a FileMaker, in the
process, I managed to bring my FileMaker clients on the network to a
screeching halt...and I was just developing the application.
I'd stay away from using the idle handler. What I did is, for example, i was
counting the elapsed time, i just but a button to click to re-calculate the
time as desired. Then it's on-demand, and not eating up the CPU's...and i my
case...choking the network.
Best Regards,
Jake
