Timer Class

[Tradewinds 12]

TS version 9 is no longer dependent upon the bar in the chart to move for the code to recalculate. TS 9 now had object oriented programing with Namespaces, Classes, Methods, Properties and Events.

There is now a new "Timer" Class Component.

Here are some lines of code taken from an example. The lines of code show the syntax and some different things that you can do with the timer. It's not functioning code. I'm still learning how to use it, so I hope what I've provided is correct.

 

using elsystem; // "elsystem" is the Namespace. This statement is placed at the beginning of your code. This allows you to reference the methods, properties and events of the namespace "elsystem" in future lines of code.

vars: Timer Timer1(null); // Declare a Timer variable named "Timer1" and set it's initial value to null.

Timer1 = new elsystem.Timer; // Create the new Timer

Timer1.Interval = 1 * 1000; // Set timer to update every second

Timer1.Enable = true; // Start the timer

Timer1.Elapsed += Timer1_Elapsed; // Calls the Method subroutine "Timer1_Elapsed" when the timer expires

Timer1.Enable = false; //Turn timer off

Timer1.Enable = true; //Turn timer back on
