A simple way to fire a timer and execute an expression or code block. Set a delay and specify how often to repeat the timer execution.
You can optionally pass in 3 state values that become available as this.State
, this.State1
and this.State2
in the expression passed in.
EvalTimer(lcExpr,lnMilliseconds,lnRepeat,lnMode,lvState, lvState1,lvState2)
