Measure Elapsed Time with the Convenience Timer

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.StartTiming, which starts or restarts the object's convenience timer. The ElapsedSeconds property then reports the whole number of seconds since the call.

Use ChilkatAx-win32.pkg

Procedure Test
    Handle hoSocket
    Integer iTemp1

    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatSocket)) To hoSocket
    If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoSocket))) Begin
        Send CreateComObject of hoSocket
    End

    //  Start (or restart) the object's convenience timer.
    Send ComStartTiming To hoSocket

    //  Perform some work.  (Here the thread simply sleeps to let time pass.)
    Send ComSleepMs To hoSocket 1500

    //  Read the whole number of seconds elapsed since StartTiming was called.
    Get ComElapsedSeconds Of hoSocket To iTemp1
    Showln "Elapsed seconds: " iTemp1
