Timers

Timers are used for automated or repeated tasks, such as flashing the background colour of a button. The minimum resolution for a timer is 100mS, so the frequency of a Timer event is measured in multiples of 100mS. Timers also have scopes and can be defined as either Local, Panel or Frame. In this way if 20 controls need to flash at the same time/frequency then a single Frame timer should be used for all 20 controls.

Timers have an ID field so multiple timers can be used in the same scope.
