ð Timer Enabled

Specifies if the Form Timer is set. When the timer is enabled, the form processes the commands within the Custom EEP. The default is False.

 

ð Intervals(ms)

Determines the amount of time, in milliseconds, that passes before the timer property of the form initiates the Custom EEP. 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

 

An important note about Form Timer property: Any code used within the Custom EEP for Form Timer event MUST be fully tested and debugged prior to implementation. Once executed as a Custom EEP for the Form Timer, one will have no means to stop any error(s) other than using the Windows Task Manager to stop the R:BASE process.
