TimerTicks:Int32 timer:Int32

Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description
timer	In	Int32	required	A timer from CreateTimer.

Returns: The number of ticks.

Description

Counts how many ticks a timer made since it was created or last reset. Each tick also arrives as a $4001 event, but when the program is busy several ticks are put into one event, so the count is the reliable number.

Examples

Graphics 320, 240, 32, 2
win = CreateWindow("Timer", 20, 20, 240, 100, Desktop(), 3)
tm = CreateTimer(10)
Repeat
	e = WaitEvent()
	If e = $4001 Then SetGadgetText win, "Ticks " + TimerTicks(tm)
Until e = $803
