Actually this is not true:
I'd love to understand more detail as to why you might want to have another timer message code option in addition to or instead of WM_TIMER. From what I gather, using WM_TIMER is causing Sierra Chart to update charts more quickly even though the chart update interval setting hasn't changed.

It is clear now it does not matter whether we use the message code WM_TIMER. We thought, using this message code would give the same result as users have in prior versions but it does not make any difference. Generating our own timer events, regardless of what message code is used, is apparently causing faster chart updates for some users. Which may be a good thing for some users.
