11
12 The wxStopWatch class allow you to measure time intervals.
13
14 For example, you may use it to measure the time elapsed by some function:
15
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());
26 @endcode
