Edit Timer Actions dialog box
Use this dialog box to set the parameters for the Timer response type. These parameters include:
| Parameter | Comments |
|---|---|
| ACTION | Values are Start and Stop. If you set the value to Stop, you cannot set an INTERVAL. |
| INTERVAL | 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. Note: For forms used in the
web client, the minimum valid value is 5000 (milliseconds). Values less than
this are automatically treated as 5000 in the web client.
If you select , the system converts that value to INTERVAL(0). A zero or negative value does not start the timer. |
