We recommend using the higher-level QTimer class rather than this class if you want to use timers in your applications. Note that this timer is a repeating timer that will send subsequent timer events unless the stop() function is called. To use this class, create a QBasicTimer, and call its start() function with a timeout interval and with a pointer to a QObject subclass. When the timer times out it will send a timer event to the QObject subclass. The timer can be stopped at any time using stop(). isActive() returns \c true for a timer that is running; i.e. it has been started, has not reached the timeout time, and has not been stopped. The timer's ID can be retrieved using timerId(). The \l{widgets/wiggly}{Wiggly} example uses QBasicTimer to repaint a widget at regular intervals. \sa QTimer, QTimerEvent, QObject::timerEvent(), Timers, {Wiggly Example} */ /*! \fn QBasicTimer::QBasicTimer() Contructs a basic timer. \sa start() */ /*! \fn QBasicTimer::~QBasicTimer() Destroys the basic timer. */ /*! \fn bool QBasicTimer::isActive() const Returns \c true if the timer is running and has not been stopped; otherwise returns \c false. \sa start(), stop() */ /*! \fn int QBasicTimer::timerId() const Returns the timer's ID. \sa QTimerEvent::timerId() */ /*! \fn void QBasicTimer::start(int msec, QObject *object) Starts (or restarts) the timer with a \a msec milliseconds timeout.
