Hi everyone, I've got an application that will use a timer to run a function automatically (it's an update function for my IPv6 endpoint). The questions that I have are these:
1. Can I stop and start the timer from different functions or methods in my program, and if so, how? 2. Can I stop the timer, change the value, and restart it (or would it create a new timer), or do I have to create a new timer with an entirely new name? 3. If I get a value from a textbox, how do I parse it from the string value to an integer (or float)? 4. Is there a better way of accomplishing this task? Here's the pseudocode for what I'm doing. if autoUpdates is enabled get updateFrequency start timer with time value from updateFrequency when time is reached, run update method else cancel timer if autoUpdates is enabled AND user changes updateFrequency stop timer get updateFrequency start timer with new time value from updateFrequency The autoUpdates and updateFrequency are a checkbox and text box in wxPython. Thanks for any advice on this, and have a great day.:) Patrick. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
