public class Timer

Timer

Event-loop based GUI timer.

Timer is intended for GUI refreshes and lightweight periodic actions. Its timeout event is emitted by the native window event loop, so callbacks can safely update widgets and request repaints.

Example

timer = Timer(1000)
timer.timeout += lambda(e as ActionEvent): print("tick")
timer.start()
