What is the best way to display a timer on the screen and then have it
stoppable?
Something like the following would work for the timer
on UpdateTimer
-- update the display
send UpdateTimer to me in 1 sec
end UpdateTimer
My question is how best to stop the timer?
Is it better to look for the UpdateTimer message in the pendingMessages and
cancel it?
Have a global variable indicating the timer is active and only send the
UpdateTimer to me if it is active?
What have other people used?
