Question about DelayedTask

[parky128]

Hi,

I am trying to get a DelayedTask function to loop at a set interval using the following code:

this.delayedRefreshTaskInterval = 5000;

this.delayedRefreshTask = new Ext.util.DelayedTask(function(){
    this.raiseEvent('checkforupdates');
    this.delayedRefreshTask.delay(this.delayedRefreshTaskInterval);
}, this);

I am defining the above code in my launch function of my application code, not sure this is the correct thing to do actually??

I can kick this off elsewhere in some controller code by doing:

this.getApplication().delayedRefreshTask.delay(this.getApplication().delayedRefreshTaskInterval);

The 'checkforupdates' call in the function does get fired after 5 seconds, but it doesn't continue to get fired every 5 seconds as I would expect.

Where am I going wrong here please?

I think DelayedTask is a one and done. Try a task.delay() again once the timer pops.

But I am calling delay within the function itself after I do what I need to do, so it then calls itself again after the set interval period elapses.

hi, i meet the same issue when using delayedtask, the thing is if in debug mode, step into the delay method once, it scheduled correctly... any idea?
