Edit Timer Actions Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to set the parameters for the Timer Response Type. These parameters include:

Parameter	Values	Comments
ACTION	Start	Stop		If you set the value to Stop, you cannot set an INTERVAL.
INTERVAL	<None> 1 second 5 seconds 10 seconds 20 seconds 30 seconds 40 seconds 50 seconds	1 minute 2 minutes 3 minutes 4 minutes 5 minutes 10 minutes 15 minutes	20 minutes 25 minutes 30 minutes 35 minutes 40 minutes 45 minutes 1 hour	The interval represents the amount of time that is to pass between each "tick" of the Timer. Each "tick" of the Timer triggers the StdFormTimerTick event. Select a value from the drop-down list. The system converts this value to milliseconds. Instead of selecting a value from this drop-down list, you can enter a numeric INTEGER value in the Event Handler Properties dialog box’s Response parameters, for example, ACTION(Start) INTEGER(5300). In that case, the system internally converts the value you entered to the nearest option from this drop-down list, for example INTEGER(5000), which is equivalent to 5 seconds. If you select “None” the system converts that value to INTERVAL(0). A zero or negative value does not start the timer.
