Problems with PSTimer conrtol

[figyo]

I have trouble with PSTimer control. I want to do some background processing
while waiting for user input (e.g. Check for incoming messages) every second
or two.
The problem: when user is moving with cursor arrows in enabled fill-in
(SmartViewer), the cursor jumps one character back when the OCX.TICK event
fires. I think the problem is not in the OCX itself, I have tried my
own timer control written in Delphi with exactly same effect. Any
suggestions whats going on ?

Hi,

That sure is weird. I tried it and got the same effect and I couldn't stop it. I tried using PROCESS EVENTS and RETURN NO-APPLY within the trigger but to no avail. When I cursor forward it moves back one character and when I cursor back it moves forward one character. I am guessing it's a problem with the ADM because I didnt experience this problem with a non-smart window!

There must be something about it on the Progress Knowledgebase because I am sure others are using Timer controls within a smart window.

Cheers
