How to use the timer

Drop an instance of the WSCvtimer class on the section [NonGUI] of the object box dialog on some window or some form, and set the interval of firing by milli second. It will fires the event WSEV_ACTIVATE after the interval. So set the event procedure with WSEV_ACTIVATE to the timer.

There are two kind of the timers. One fires only once, another continuously fires every interval. If the property:"cont" is mpfc.True, it will continuously fires. It is possible to start or stop the timer by the property: "running". If the property: "cont" is mpfc.False,after firing,the timer will stop, and the property: "running" will become mpfc.False.
