timer blows up on lock

[tobject]

How do I do a lock on timer?

currently I get and I declared $NotLocked as Global

H:\SendTwitts.au3 (104) : ==> Variable used without being declared.:

if $NotLocked then

if ^ ERROR

without lock it works fine, 20 seconds is probably ok but who knows

$MyTimerID3=_Timer_SetTimer(0,$Sec20,"SendQueueTwittsTimer");


 while 1
     sleep(250);
 wend;

Global $NotLocked=True;

Func SendQueueTwittsTimer($hWnd, $Msg, $iIDTimer, $dwTime)
    #forceref $hWnd, $Msg, $iIDTimer, $dwTime, $NotLocked



   if $NotLocked then
        $NotLocked=False;
        SendTwittFromQueue();
        $NotLocked=True;
    endif;



EndFunc

Put the declaration at the top of your script. You are stuck in the While/WEnd loop before the declaration happens.

Thanks, I keep forgetting it's not Delphi/Pascal
