Procedure Start

Call Example

Send Start

Description

Start programmatically starts the timer.

Timer objects are usually placed within a cWebView or cWebModalDialog. By default, when a timer is placed within a view or dialog, it will only fire if that view is the currently active view. See Starting and Stopping Timers in cWebTimer.

Starting and Stopping Timers

Set pbAutoStart to True to ensure that the timer starts automatically when the host view is shown. When used outside of a view, it starts on initialization. This property is True by default.

Set pbAutoStop to True to ensure that the timer stops automatically when a view is hidden. This property is True by default.

Set pbWaitForCall to True to ensure the timer is restarted after each timer event. Set to False to configure the timer to fire only one event, then stop.

Send Stop to programmatically stop the timer.
