Ow! So your making hundreds of timers. It'd be much more efficient
to just have *one* timer, say right there on the Window, and simply
reset it in CompareRows (by setting mode=0 and then mode=1).
As you've done it, the timers will indeed go away when their time is
up, but it's very wasteful (and I'd expect it to cause some
flickering of the cursor as they fight for control of it, too).
