-# o It appears that wx.Timer has an issue where if you use
-#
-# self.timer = wx.Timer(self, -1)
-#
-# to create it, then
-#
-# self.timer.GetId()
-#
-# doesn't seem to return anything meaningful. In the demo, doing this
-# results in only one of the two handlers being called for both timers.
-# This means that
-#
-# self.Bind(wx.EVT_TIMER, self.onTimer, self.timer)
-#
-# doesn't work right. However, using
-#
-# self.timer = wx.Timer(self, wx.NewId())
-#
-# makes it work OK. I believe this is a bug, but wiser heads than mine
-# should determine this.

+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.

+wx.CallLater is a convenience class for wx.Timer. You just

+with any args or keyword args you would like to be passed to your
+callable, and wx.CallLater 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.
