    ActiveX and Timer

    I build an ActiveX control in which i embedded VB timer.
    I mapped the Interval & Enable property from the Timer to the ActiveX property. So My ActiveX exposes the Interval & Property.

    My problem is the Native VB timer is limited to 64,767 milliseconds. My application needs a timer working for hours.

    Is there a hope to find advanced timer control just dropping it to my ActiveX and focusing on my ActiveX functionality not timers?
    I do not want to end up to build a timer inside my ActiveX.

    Look at WokaWidget's sig. He made a timer that can take much more ms than that.
    Nobody knows what software they want until after you've delivered what they originally asked for.

    Don't solve problems which don't exist.
