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.

LOCAL oSocket

oSocket := CreateObject("Chilkat.Socket")

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

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

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

oSocket:destroy()
