I'm coding in VC++.NET. Does a static timer work like any other static variable? I have a class CLASS1 that has a static timer TIMER1 and a function ENABLETIMER that disables then enables the timer. From the main file, I have a callback function that calls CLASS1::ENABLETIMER(); The timer is never triggered. I also tried directly enabling the timer from main. Doesn't help. My code is a lot more complicated, but I have summarized the part I'm having trouble.

static System::Windows::Forms::Timer * Timer1;
