   1 \section{\class{wxTimer}}\label{wxtimer}
   2
   3 The wxTimer object is an abstraction of MS Windows and X toolkit timers. To
   4 use it, derive a new class and override the {\bf Notify} member to
   5 perform the required action. Start with {\bf Start}, stop with {\bf
   6 Stop}, it's as simple as that.

  20 \func{}{wxTimer}{\void}
  21
  22 Constructor.
  23
  24 \membersection{wxTimer::\destruct{wxTimer}}
  25
  26 \func{}{\destruct{wxTimer}}{\void}
  27
  28 Destructor. Stops the timer if activated.

  30 \membersection{wxTimer::Interval}
  31
  32 \func{int}{Interval}{\void}
  33
  34 Returns the current interval for the timer.
  35
  36 \membersection{wxTimer::Notify}
  37
  38 \func{void}{Notify}{\void}
  39
  40 This member should be overridden by the user. It is called on timeout.
  41
  42 \membersection{wxTimer::Start}
  43
  44 \func{bool}{Start}{\param{int}{ milliseconds = -1}, \param{bool}{ oneShot=FALSE}}
  45
  46 (Re)starts the timer. If {\it milliseconds}\/ is absent or -1, the
  47 previous value is used. Returns FALSE if the timer could not be started,
  48 TRUE otherwise (in MS Windows timers are a limited resource).
  49
  50 If {\it oneShot} is FALSE (the default), the Notify function will be repeatedly
  51 called. If TRUE, Notify will be called only once.
  52
  53 \membersection{wxTimer::Stop}
  54
  55 \func{void}{Stop}{\void}
  56
  57 Stops the timer.
