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.

loSocket = createobject("CkSocket")

//  Start (or restart) the object's convenience timer.
loSocket.StartTiming()

//  Perform some work.  (Here the thread simply sleeps to let time pass.)
loSocket.SleepMs(1500)

//  Read the whole number of seconds elapsed since StartTiming was called.
? "Elapsed seconds: " + str(loSocket.ElapsedSeconds)
