Too Many Timers error?

Former Member over 11 years ago

My widget uses 2 non-repeating Timers, however I'm calling:

timer1.stop();

timer1.start( method(:callback1), 500, true )

a number of times. e.g., if the user has changed an option. Very quickly I get the "Too Many Timers" error. This seems like a bug to me? If I'm explicitly stopping the timers and then restarting them, there should never be more than 2 timers active?

Thanks

This is a bug. Thanks for the report, we'll look into it.

@CLIMBERS.NET I'm curious to see whether this is still an issue for you. I don't have the same problem when I try something similar. I tried stopping and starting the same timer several times in a row and had no issues:

function onLayout(dc)
    {
        timer1 = new Timer.Timer();

        timer1.start( method(:callback1), 500, true );
        timer1.stop();
        timer1.start( method(:callback1), 500, true );
        timer1.stop();
        timer1.start( method(:callback1), 500, true );
    }

Sorry, I don't know if the bug is still there - I rewrote my app to workaround the problem.
