AEResetTimer

You can use the AEResetTimer function to reset the timeout value for an Apple event to its starting value.

FUNCTION AEResetTimer (reply: AppleEvent): OSErr;

reply

The default reply for an Apple event, provided by the Apple Event Manager.

DESCRIPTION

When your application calls AEResetTimer, the Apple Event Manager for the server application uses the default reply to send a Reset Timer event to the client application; the Apple Event Manager for the client application's computer intercepts this Apple event and resets the client application's timer for the Apple event. (The Reset Timer event is never dispatched to a handler, so the client application does not need a handler for it.)

RESULT CODE

noErr	0	No error
errAEReplyNotValid	-1709	AEResetTimer was passed an invalid reply
