timers
DESCRIPTION
This role implements a set of methods for letting Wx objects in Padre
implement dwell events on elements that do not otherwise natively
support them.
In this initial simplified implementation, we support only one common
dwell event for each combination of object class and dwell method.
If multiple instances of a class are used, then the timer id will
collide across multiple timers and unexpected behaviour may occur.
METHODS
dwell_start
# Half second dwell timer on a text input
$wx_object->dwell_start( 'on_text', 500 );
The "dwell_start" method starts (or restarts) the dwell timer.
It has two required parameters of the method to call, and the amount of
time (in thousands of a second) that the event should be delayed.
Note that when the dwell-delayed event is actually called, it will NOT
be passed the original Wx event object. The method will be called
directly and with no parameters.
Please note that calling this method will result in the creating of a
Wx::Timer object in an object HASH slot that matches the name of the
method.
As a result, if you wish to create a dwell to a method "foo" you may
never make use of the "$wx_object->{foo}" slot on that object.
dwell_stop
$wx_object->dwell_stop( 'on_text' );
The "dwell_stop" method prevents a single named dwell event from
firing, if there is a timer underway.
If there is no dwell for the named event the method will silently
succeed.
