Property (As Integer )

aWebTimer.Period = newIntegerValue
or
IntegerValue = aWebTimer.Period

New in 2010r4

Supported for all project types and targets.

The time (in milliseconds) between executions. The default is 1000 (1 second).

Notes

Timers are not precise. For example a value of 1000 will cause the timer to be called about once a second, not precisely every second. Other factors such as OS, the browser and other tasks they may be doing can all affect how often a timer is called. It is possible to set Period to a value that is too low to be reached by the computer that is running the application. In this case the timer will run less often than you might expect.

Periods of less than or equal to zero default to a value of 1 millisecond.

Example

Set the period to so that the timer runs every 5 seconds or so:

Me.Period = 5000
