Description: TTimerIterate is different than TTimer.
TTimerIterate executes (if enabled) its
OnTimer event ONLY a specifed number of
times. When done, it then fires another
special event and disables itself.
Why is this cool? If you wish to display
a dialog for a set number of seconds then
close the dialog, then this component is
perfect.
TTimerIterate adds ONE property and ONE event to
the standard TTimer object.
The property is:
* NumTicks { The OnTimer Event will Fire }
{ this many times. }
The Event is:
* OnLastTick { Fires immediatly following }
{ the last OnTimer }
Instructions: 1. Install component (RTFM)
2. Drop on form.
3. Set NumTicks property to a value > 0.
4. Put code in the OnTimer method.
5. Put code in the OnLastTick method.
6. Run program.
The OnTimer method will executes NumTicks times
and then execute the OnLastTick event and then
disable itself.
Install Note: TTimerIterate is a Non-Visual component that
that is a subclassed imediate child class of
Delphi's stock TTimer object. This thus requires
ExtCtrls.pas or ExtCtrls.dcu to be available for
this components installation and program inclusion.
The point is Timerit.pas USES Extctrls.pas.
