4use it, derive a new class and override the {\bf Notify} member to

29
30\func{}{\destruct{wxTimer}}{\void}
31
32Destructor. Stops the timer if activated.

35
36\func{int}{Interval}{\void}

38Returns the current interval for the timer.

44This member should be overridden by the user. It is called on timeout.

48\func{bool}{Start}{\param{int}{ milliseconds = -1}, \param{bool}{ oneShot=FALSE}}
49
50(Re)starts the timer. If {\it milliseconds}\/ is absent or -1, the
51previous value is used. Returns FALSE if the timer could not be started,
52TRUE otherwise (in MS Windows timers are a limited resource).
53
54If {\it oneShot} is FALSE (the default), the Notify function will be repeatedly
55called. If TRUE, Notify will be called only once.

57\membersection{wxTimer::Stop}
58
59\func{void}{Stop}{\void}
60
61Stops the timer.

84
85\func{void}{Pause}{\void}
86
87Pauses the stop watch. Call \helpref{wxStopWatch::Resume}{wxstopwatchresume} to resume
88time measuring again.
89
90\membersection{wxStopWatch::Start}
91
92\func{void}{Start}{\param{long}{ milliseconds = 0}}

94(Re)starts the stop watch with a given initial value.

97
98\func{void}{Resume}{\void}

100Resumes the stop watch after having been paused with \helpref{wxStopWatch::Pause}{wxstopwatchpause}.
101
102\membersection{wxStopWatch::Time}
103
104\func{long}{Time}{\void}\label{wxstopwatchtime}
105
106Returns the time in milliseconds since the start (or restart) or the last call of
107\helpref{wxStopWatch::Pause}{wxstopwatchpause}.
