> About the Timer changes:
>
> As Timer is implemented directly in the interpreter, the components
> developpers that had implemented them in their components must:
>
> 1) Remove the Timer class/control from their components
>
> 2) Calls GB.Hook() with GB_HOOK_TIMER, and implements a timer hook. This
> timer hook is called by the interpreter to create or remove timers.
>
> 3) Calls GB.RaiseTimer() each time a timer must raise its event.
>
> Everything about that is explained on http://new.gambasdoc.org. Start to
> search at the http://new.gambasdoc.org/help/api/cat/timer page. And the
> gb.qt component source is the reference...
