ð Timer Enabled

Use Timer Enabled to true (checked) or disable (unchecked) the timer. If Timer Enabled option is set to True, the timer responds normally. If Timer Enabled option is set to False, the timer does not generate Custom EEP events. The default is False.  


ð Intervals(ms)
 
Determines the amount of time, in milliseconds, that passes before the timer property of the form initiates another user defined event. Timer Interval determines how frequently the defined Custom EEP will execute. Each time the specified interval passes, the defined Custom EEP event occurs. Use Timer Interval to specify any cardinal value as the interval between Custom EEP events. The default value is 1000 (one second).  

Note: A 0 value is valid, however, the timer will not call a Custom EEP event for a value of 0.


ð Edit Custom EEP

Opens the R:BASE Editor to create/edit an embedded EEP

Use the following PROPERTY commands to manage Form Timer Property in an EEP:

PROPERTY RBASE_FORM TIMERENABLED 'TRUE' 
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM TIMERENABLED 'FALSE' 
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM TIMERINTERVAL nnn

An important note about Form Timer property: Any code used as Custom EEP for Form Timer event MUST be fully tested and debugged prior to implementation. Once executed as Custom EEP for Form Timer, you'll have no way to stop any error(s) except by stopping the RBG75 or RBG8 application process using Windows Task Manager.
