Returns or sets the number of milliseconds between calls to the control's OnTimer event.
Object.Interval [ = lInterval ]
The Interval property syntax has the following parts:
|
Name |
Type |
Description |
|
Object |
ATimer |
ATimer control |
|
lInterval |
Long |
An integer specifying the number of milliseconds between calls to the control's OnTimer event. |
lInterval can be one of the following:
|
Value |
Description |
|
0 * |
The ATimer object is disabled. |
|
1 to 65,535 |
Sets an interval (in milliseconds) that takes effect when a ATimer object's Enabled property is set to True. For example, a value of 10,000 milliseconds equals 10 seconds. The maximum, 65,535 milliseconds, is equivalent to just over 1 minute. |
The ATimer control's Enabled property determines whether the control responds to the passage of time. Set Enabled to True/False to turn an ATimer control on/off. When an ATimer control is enabled, its countdown always starts from the value of its Interval property setting.
You should create an OnTimer event procedure to tell your application what to do each time the lInterval has passed.
The following statement changes the ATimer Interval to be 20 milliseconds:
tmr1.Interval=20
