18 // TTimer //
19 // //
20 // Handles synchronous and a-synchronous timer events. You can use //
21 // this class in one of the following ways: //
22 // - Sub-class TTimer and override the Notify() method. //
23 // - Re-implement the TObject::HandleTimer() method in your class //
24 // and pass a pointer to this object to timer, see the SetObject() //
25 // method. //
26 // - Pass an interpreter command to timer, see SetCommand() method. //
27 // - Create a TTimer, connect its Timeout() signal to the //
28 // appropriate methods. Then when the time is up it will emit a //
29 // Timeout() signal and call connected slots. //
30 // //
31 // Minimum timeout interval is defined in TSystem::ESysConstants as //
32 // kItimerResolution (currently 10 ms). //
33 // //
34 // Signal/slots example: //
35 // TTimer *timer = new TTimer(); //
36 // timer->Connect("Timeout()", "myObjectClassName", //
37 // myObject, "TimerDone()"); //
38 // timer->Start(2000, kTRUE); // 2 seconds single-shot //
39 // //
40 // // Timeout signal is emitted repeadetly with minimum timeout //
41 // // timer->Start(0, kFALSE); //
42 // //
