dim myEvent as long
dim sKey as string
dim run as long value %TRUE

'Repeat the event 5 times once it was running the first time, each after 200 milliseconds again

'Fire a trigger to run the event for one time
TBEM_AddTrigger(%evtType1)

console_writeline("count = " + count)

end sub

Hi Michael,

I was testing this script.
If you put 2000 ms instead of 200 you will note that last event, 6th, is fired just after the 5th without waiting 2 seconds.

Hi Eros, you're right. I switched some code around. Shouldn't have done it. Right now I can't chnage it but will post a corrected version soon.

Thanks Michael.
No hurry.

Downloaded latest TBEM version and all is fine now.
Thanks.
