Syntax:
timer = interval
Description:
If you have designated a timer-event handling routine (using the on timer
statement), the timer
statement alters the interval at which timer events occur. If timer events have not yet been initiated (because your on timer
statement specified an interval of zero), the timer
statement also initiates timer events.
If the interval
parameter is greater than zero, it specifies the interval in seconds. If interval
is less than zero, then abs(interval)
specifies the interval in ticks (a tick is approximately 1/60 second). Setting interval
to zero disables the timer. Fractional values of interval
are acceptable.
Timer firings are not queued; they are lost if your application does not handle events for times greater than the interval
.
