[wxLua] Timer

1. Timer Handler Exxample

virtual bool wxTimer::Start ( int  milliseconds = -1, bool  oneShot = wxTIMER_CONTINUOUS  )

virtual

(Re)starts the timer.

If milliseconds parameter is -1 (value by default), the previous value is used. Returns false if the timer could not be started, true otherwise (in MS Windows timers are a limited resource).

If oneShot is false (the default), the Notify() function will be called repeatedly until the timer is stopped. If true, it will be called only once and the timer will stop automatically.

To make your code more readable you may also use the following symbolic constants:

• wxTIMER_CONTINUOUS: Start a normal, continuously running, timer
• wxTIMER_ONE_SHOT: Start a one shot timer Alternatively, use StartOnce().

If the timer was already running, it will be stopped by this method before restarting it.

If milisonds is zero, then the timer handler will be called without delay.
