Hello all,
On "The Old New Thing" Raymond Chen spke about "The ongoing story of seconds
on the taskbar" :

My question: does anyone know how to create a once-a-minute timer that will work ?
Just as in the article I've got a timer used to display the current ime in a minute resolution (no seconds).
The problem is that when the timer is just a bit longer than a minute the
clock will skip displaying some minutes.
When the timer is just short of a minute than at some moment it will fire
twice in the same minute, and than late in the next minute - making it look like the currently displayed minute is almost two minutes long. :-(
The only way I know to fix the above problems is to make the timer fire multiple times a minute.
... but the above article tells me thats "bad". :-(
So, the question:
Does Windows offer something to get a (timer) signal when its clocks minutes advance ?
Regards,
