ZylTimer 1.36
Delphi &
C++Builder Component
ZylTimer
is a high resolution, long-term Delphi & C++Builder timer component
which provides a higher precision than the standard Delphi / C++
Builder TTimer component.
TTimer component which ships with Delphi & C++Builder uses the
Windows Message Queue to generate the OnTimer event. Due to this
approach it's impossible to get accurate timer intervals smaller
than 15 milliseconds.
ZylTimer is a thread based timer and due to this architecture provides
a higher precision (1-2 milliseconds), which is inevitable in time
critical applications.
The standard TTimer component uses the SetTimer API function, so
the interval is limited to 2147483647 milliseconds (about 25 days).
ZylTimer is a thread based timer and the interval could be set even
to hundred years if necessary.
It is important to understand that the accuracy of timers is limited.
Windows is not a real-time operating system (except Windows CE)
and it is not reasonable to expect timers to handle exactly very
small time intervals.
The demo version is fully functional in Delphi and C++Builder IDE,
but it displays a nag dialog (the licensed version will, of course,
not have a nag dialog and will not be limited to the IDE). The package
includes demo programs for Delphi and C++Builder and a help file
with the description of the component.

Remarks:
- The Delphi 2006
version is fully compatible with Turbo Delphi
- The C++Builder 2006 version is fully compatible with Turbo C++
- Delphi for .NET support was abandoned. You can use our .NET components
instead, which are written in C#.
Installation:
If you have a previous
version of the component installed, you must remove it completely
before installing this version.
-Unzip
the zip file and open the ZylTimerPack.dpk file in Delphi (ZylTimerPack.bpk
or ZylTimerPack.cbproj file in C++Builder), compile and install
it
and add to Tools/Environment Options/Library (in older Delphi/C++Builder
menu) or Tools/Options/[Language]/Delphi Options/Library/Library
Path (in newer Delphi menu) or Tools/Options/[Language]/C++ Options/Paths
and Directories/Library Path & Include Path (in newer C++Builder
menu, in C++Builder 10 or later, set them also for the classic compiler)
the path of the installation (where the ZylTimer.dcu file is located).
The component will be added to the "Zyl Soft" tab of the
component palette. After you have the component on your component
palette, you can drag and drop it to any form, where you can set
its properties by the Object Inspector and you can write event handlers
selecting the Events tab of the Object Inspector and double clicking
the preferred event.
If you still have problems in C++Builder, running an application,
which contains the component, then open the project and in C++Builder
menu, Project/Options/Packages and uncheck "Build with runtime
packages".
C++BuilderXE2: If you get access violation, running an application
with this component, then comment out in the project's main form's
cpp file the following: //#pragma link "ZylTimer".
-It
is indicated to use this component with "Stop on Delphi exception"
option deactivated. You can do this from Delphi / C++Builder menu,
Tools/Debugger Options/Language Exceptions/Stop on Delphi exceptions
in older versions or Tools/Options/Debugger Options/Embarcadero
Debuggers/Language Exceptions/Notify on language exceptions in newer
versions, otherwise you will have a break at all the handled exceptions.
-Avoid to use
time consuming code in the OnTimer event, but if it's necessary,
run it in a differnet thread.
64-bit
platform:
Delphi/C++Builder
64-bit support is only for runtime, so you have to use it in the
folllwing way:
Install the 32-bit version of the component as it described
above and add to Tools/Options/Delphi Options/Library/Library Path,
selected platform: 64-bit Windows the path of the Win64 subfolder
of the component.
Before compiling the host application for 64-bit Windows, right
click on Target Platforms, Add Platform and add 64-bit Windows (Make
the selected platform active). If you compile the application in
this way, it will be a native 64-bit application.
Help
file:
If you can't open the help file:
-right-click on the help.chm file to get the properties
-on the bottom it says: “This file came form another computer....”
-push “Unblock” next to this text
-now the help.chm files opens as all other help files
