Problem with timer stopping after screen interaction

[IanMayo]

When we edit a value (such as a new course) the timer stops.

Hopefully there's some Google fix for that.

If there isn't, here's an alternate strategy:

• instead of a "Play" button, have a something with a Toggle state
• On the handler for that button, if it's "selected", set a boolRunning to true
• Or, if it's "unselected" set a boolRunning to false
• In the worksheet change handler function - let the worksheet change happen, and then check for "boolRunning = true". If it shows we "were" running, just call the toggle handler again - it will carry on time-stepping fowards.

By doing this, I think our timer will only stop once the Play button is un-toggled.

Dear Ian,

Thank you for this other demand.

After few research and in order to prevent further headache managing additional line of code and another boolean variable, the current issue of timer stopping on screen interaction is tackled by the mean of additional textbox. It seems to work fine and will be available from the next update.

Kind regards, Tsi

I'm interested in this issue. When you get chance, I'd like to have a play with your solution - if you add it to the GitHub repo, or email it to me.
