1. Question on onTimer in Win32lib
Okay, I thought I understood how to do timers in Win32lib, but obviously I
don't.
How do you use multiple timers? It seems you can't, if you have to use the
handle of the window as the parameter in the onTimer statement. For example
onTimer[MainWin] = routine_id(doSomething)
There isn't any documentation to speak of in the win32lib.ew on timers. So
how do you use them?

The onTimer routine gets passed an integer parameter which is the id of the
Timer that is getting processed. So an example for two timers might look
something like:
constant
Win = create( Window, ... ),
Timer1 = 1,
Timer2 = 2
setTimer( Win, Timer1, 1000 )
setTimer( Win, Timer2, 5000 )
procedure onTimer_Win( integer id )
if id = Timer1 then
... -- Do something every second
elsif id = Timer2 then
... -- Do something else every 5 seconds
endif
end procedure
onTimer[Win] = routine_id( "onTimer_Win" )
WinMain( Win, Normal )
