I am investigating improving the accuracy of a TEvent.WaitFor(APeriod) by
using a MMSystem.TimeBeginPeriod(1) call.
I have seen differing recommendations about calling TimeBeginPeriod(1):-
a) some say the calls should be minimized and can be made once in
application.OnCreate matched by a TimeEndPeriod(1) in application.OnDestroy
due to the effect of TimeBeginPeriod(1) being per application/process
b) others say the each time sensitive call should be enclosed in a try
finally
TimeBeginPeriod(1);
try
AnEvent,WaitFor(APeriod)
finally
TimeEndPeriod(1);
end;
As the TimeBeginPeriod(1) could be invalidated by a call to
TimeBeginPeriod(xx) by another application.
Is either of the above correct or is the situation not this simple<g>
Thanks
David
