 |
|
Product: Borland C++ Builder 6.0 Professional
Problem:
Having 2 or more timer event handler, if one of them locks waiting for a
response, the whole program blocks.
Is it possible to block just the event handler waiting for the answer and
remain the other working properly?

As well it should. TTimer uses window messages (WM_TIMER in particular).
The OnTimer event is triggered from within a message handler. While your
handler is running, no other messages are being processed, unless you pump
the message queue manually via Application->ProcessMessages().

No. I would suggest that you not use timers to begin with. Use threads
instead.
