header = """\
This demo shows the various ways that wx.Timers can be used in your code.  Just
select one of the buttons in the left column to start a timer in the indicated way,
and watch the log window below for messages printed when the timer event or callback
happens.  Clicking the corresponding button on the right will stop that timer.  Since
timers are not owned by any other wx object you should hold on to a reference to the
timer until you are completely finished with it. """

doc1 = """\
Binding an event handler to the wx.EVT_TIMER event is the
prefered way to use the wx.Timer class directly.  It makes
handling timer events work just like normal window events.  You
just need to specify the window that is to receive the event in
the wx.Timer constructor.  If that window needs to be able to
receive events from more than one timer then you can optionally
specify an ID for the timer and the event binding.
"""


doc2 = """\
wx.FutureCall is a convenience class for wx.Timer.  You just
specify the timeout in milliseconds and a callable object, along
with any ard or keyword arg you woudl like to be passed to your
callable, and wx.FutureCall takes care of the rest.  If you don't
need to get the return value of the callable or to restart the
timer then there is no need to hold a reference to this object.
"""


doc3 = """\
If you derive a class from wx.Timer and give it a Notify method
then it will be called when the timer expires.
"""


doc4 = """\
wx.PyTimer is the old way (a kludge that goes back all the way to
the first version of wxPython) to bind a timer directly to a
callable.  You should migrate any code that uses this method to
use EVT_TIMER instead as this may be deprecated in the future.

<h2><center>wx.Timer</center></h2>

The wx.Timer class allows you to execute code at specified intervals
from within the wxPython event loop. Timers can be one-shot or
repeating.  This demo shows the principle method of using a timer
(with events) as well as the convenient wx.FutureCall class.  Also
there are two other usage patterns shown here that have been preserved
for backwards compatibility.
