Timer limit

[Champak]

Is there a limit, either autoit, OS, or whatever, in HOW MANY timers can be run at the same time? Or will multiple timers in an app use up too much CPU. The way I'm thinking of setting up the next feature in my app, based on user input, an unknown number of timers may run at the same time. So before I go down that path, just curious of any limitations that may cause problems.

I don`t think if exist any limitation, but most probably not.

Well here's four. No limit yet.

$timer1 = TimerInit ()
Sleep (500)
$timer2 = TimerInit ()
Sleep (500)
$timer3 = TimerInit ()
Sleep (500)
$timer4 = TimerInit ()

While 1
    $timekeep1 = TimerDiff ($timer1)
    $timekeep2 = TimerDiff ($timer2)
    $timekeep3 = TimerDiff ($timer3)
    $timekeep4 = TimerDiff ($timer4)
    $text = "!------- Timer Results ---------" & @CRLF
    $text &= "#" & @TAB & "Timer 1 = " & $timekeep1 & @CRLF
    $text &= "#" & @TAB & "Timer 2 = " & $timekeep2 & @CRLF
    $text &= "#" & @TAB & "Timer 3 = " & $timekeep3 & @CRLF
    $text &= "#" & @TAB & "Timer 4 = " & $timekeep4 & @CRLF
    ConsoleWrite ($text)
    If $timekeep1 >= 5000 Then
        ConsoleWrite ("!-----------------Timer 1 Ended--------------" & @CRLF)
        Exit
    ElseIf $timekeep2 >= 5000 Then
        ConsoleWrite ("!-----------------Timer 2 Ended--------------" & @CRLF)
        Exit
    ElseIf $timekeep3 >= 5000 Then
        ConsoleWrite ("!-----------------Timer 3 Ended--------------" & @CRLF)
        Exit
    ElseIf $timekeep4 >= 5000 Then
        ConsoleWrite ("!-----------------Timer 4 Ended--------------" & @CRLF)
        Exit
    EndIf
WEnd

Because of how the timers are set up, I imagine there wouldn't be one.

See?

$timer1 = TimerInit ()
MsgBox (0, "", $timer1)

The helpfile says it returns "Returns a timestamp number (in milliseconds)."

TimerDiff ($timestamp) just calculates the time from the timestamp.... muttley
