Timer or Dp Loop?

[Jhd.Honza]

Could anybody tell me the dis/advantages of both methods

a) using vb timer

b) using win timer (probably need to subclass)

c) using x = Timerooevents:Loop While x + 5 > Timer ?

Rather to store variables in arrays or in objects.tag property?

b) is like a), but more reliable time-wise. c) is pretty useless, as it is synchronous (locks the thread until the timer goes).

If the variable in the Tag is directly related to the object (i.e: in a For Each Loop) then you should use the Tag, otherwise I recommend to not use them.
