Timer

The Timer object is a special kind of control: it has no appearance, its only purpose is to trigger an event every specified amount of time.

The synopsis to create a Timer object is:

new Win32::GUI::Timer( PARENT, NAME, ELAPSE )

PARENT->AddTimer( NAME, ELAPSE )
NAME

the name for the Timer object (used to lookup the associated event).

ELAPSE

the number of milliseconds after which the Timer() event will be triggered.

Once you've created the Timer object, you can change the ELAPSE parameter with the Interval() method, or disables it with the Kill() method. Note that Kill(), despite of its name, does not destroy the Timer object, so you can re-enable it later with Interval().

Example:

# creates a Timer that is called every 1 second

$Window->AddTimer( "Clock", 1000 );

sub Clock_Timer {
	print "one second passed.\n";
}

Methods: Interval, Kill

Events: Timer
