precision is platform-dependent, but in general will not be better than 1ms nor
worse than 1s.

+There are three different ways to use this class:
\begin{enumerate}
\item You may derive a new class from wxTimer and override the
\helpref{Notify}{wxtimernotify} member to perform the required action.
\item Or you may redirect the notifications to any
-\helpref{wxEvtHandler}{wxevthandler} derived object by using the non default
+\helpref{wxEvtHandler}{wxevthandler} derived object by using the non-default
constructor or \helpref{SetOwner}{wxtimersetowner}. Then use the {\tt EVT\_TIMER}
macro to connect it to the event handler which will receive
\helpref{wxTimerEvent}{wxtimerevent} notifications.
after constructing it before it actually starts sending notifications. It can
be stopped later with \helpref{Stop}{wxtimerstop}.
-{\bf NB:} note that timer can only be used from the main thread currently.

Returns the current interval for the timer (in milliseconds).

+
+Returns the current {\it owner} of the timer.

(Re)starts the timer. If {\it milliseconds}\/ parameter is -1 (value by default),
the previous value is used. Returns {\tt false} if the timer could not be started,
Stops the timer.
