By design, ctSchedule has an internal timer. This timer allows for some of the functionality of the component, such as tips and any mouse move functionality. When a modal form, such as a message box is called from ctSchedule, the results can be undesirable; for example, the component continues to scroll. This is a knows issue with many development platforms, but not the component itself. The modal form does not communicate with the OLE container which hosts the component. We have created a method to workaround this issue. It is called the StopTimer method. Just before the modal form is called, the StopTimer method should be called. Once the component receives focus, the timer will continue.
