Detailed Description

The QBasicTimer class provides timer events for objects.

This is a low level class used by CopperSpice internally. We recommend using the higher level QTimer class in your applications. This class is a repeating timer which sends subsequent timer events unless the stop() method is called.

To use this class create a QBasicTimer, and call the start() method with a timeout interval and a pointer to a QObject. When the timer times out it will send a timer event to the QObject. The timer can be stopped at any time using stop(). The isActive() method returns true for a timer which is still running. The timer's ID can be retrieved using timerId().

QBasicTimer::QBasicTimer ( )

inline

Constructs a basic timer.

See also: start()

QBasicTimer::~QBasicTimer ( )

inline

Destroys the basic timer.

Method Documentation

bool QBasicTimer::isActive ( ) const

inline

Returns true if the timer is running and has not been stopped, otherwise returns false.

See also: start(), stop()

void QBasicTimer::start	(	int	msec,
		QObject *	object
	)

Starts (or restarts) the timer with a msec milliseconds timeout. The parameter object will receive timer events.

void QBasicTimer::start	(	int	msec,
		Qt::TimerType	timerType,
		QObject *	object
	)

Starts (or restarts) the timer with a msec milliseconds timeout and the given timerType. The parameter object will receive timer events.

void QBasicTimer::stop ( )

Stops the timer.

See also: start(), isActive()

int QBasicTimer::timerId ( ) const

inline

Returns the timer's ID.
