start-timer

Generic Function

Package: common-graphics

Arguments: timer &key interval

See About the Common Graphics timer facility in cgide.htm.

Starts timer, which must be an instance of the timer class, running. If interval is true, then the timer's interval property is first set to this value. An interval should be a positive integer indicating the number of milliseconds between successive firings of the timer.

If the timer is already active, it is stopped and then immediately restarted using its current interval. This differs from setting the active property to true, which starts the timer only if it is not already active.
