Detailed Description

A high-precision interval timer that does not require blocking or polling from a dedicated thread.

This is an abstract class which should be subclassed to provide an implementation of the fired() method, which is invoked each time the timer fires.

NOTE: This class is currently not implemented on Mac OS X.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~IntervalTimer

(

)

throw () [virtual]

Destructor.

IntervalTimer	(	uint_t	initialDelay,
		uint_t	interval = 0
	)			[protected]

Construct a new IntervalTimer with the given initial delay and interval.

Parameters:

	initialDelay	The delay, in milliseconds, between the time that the timer is started and the first time it fires.
	interval	The interval, in milliseconds, between subsequent firings. If 0, the timer is a "one-shot" timer.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void fired

(

)

[protected, pure virtual]

Callback.

This method is invoked each time the timer fires.

uint_t getInitialDelay

(

)

const throw () [inline]

Get the initial delay, in milliseconds.

uint_t getInterval

(

)

const throw () [inline]

Get the interval, in milliseconds.

bool isRunning

(

)

const throw () [inline]

Determine if the timer is currently running.

void setInitialDelay

(

uint_t

initialDelay

)

throw () [inline]

Set the initial delay, in milliseconds.

The new value will take effect the next time the timer is started.

void setInterval

(

uint_t

interval

)

throw () [inline]

Set the interval, in milliseconds.

The new value will take effect the next time the timer is started.

void start

(

)

throw (SystemException)

Start the timer.

Exceptions:

SystemException

If an error occurs while creating the timer.

void stop

(

)

throw ()

Stop the timer.
