     There are three different ways to use this class:
 

-     You may derive a new class from wxTimer and override the

-     Or you may redirect the notifications to any
-    wxEvtHandler derived object by using the non-default
-    constructor or wxTimer::SetOwner. Then use the @c EVT_TIMER
-    macro to connect it to the event handler which will receive
-    wxTimerEvent notifications.
-     Or you may use a derived class and the @c EVT_TIMER
-    macro to connect it to an event handler defined in the derived class.
-    If the default constructor is used, the timer object will be its
-    own owner object, since it is derived from wxEvtHandler.
