Is there an alternative to the Delay routine that is more accurate? I
have a button that when pressed sends a tune to a synthesiser and I
want it to remain hilited until the tune is complete. Delay enables me
to do this synchronously but not very accurately. Accuracy is not that
important in this case but I didn't want to obscure the main question
with a more involved example.
Now this could just be me being lazy, I know that I can use timers with
much finer grain than Delay but timers involve working asynchronously,
ie, from the button handler start the tune, put up an alert or change
the cursor and suspend the window then install the timer and return
from the button handler and then later when the timer reports, return
to normal.
Is there an accurate way of doing this synchronously so that I can grab
the mouse down via an action proc and stay in there thus keeping the
button hilited until the appropriate time interval passes for those
cases where I want to keep things simple?
Any comments from anybody doing this kind of thing would be most
welcome.
Cheers Geoff %^>
