13 The wxStopWatch class allow you to measure time intervals. For example, you may
14 use it to measure the time elapsed by some function:
7c913512 15
23324ae1
FM
16 @code
17 wxStopWatch sw;
18 CallLongRunningFunction();
19 wxLogMessage("The long running function took %ldms to execute",
20 sw.Time());
21 sw.Pause();
22 ... stopwatch is stopped now ...
23 sw.Resume();
24 CallLongRunningFunction();
25 wxLogMessage("And calling it twice took $ldms in all", sw.Time());
