• This Method affects Timer Controls placed on a form, it doesn't affect the app-wide Global Timer.

• A Timer Control will not start until the form containing it has become visible and it has been enabled.

• An enabled Timer may continue to run after the form containing it has become invisible depending upon the value of its Active on Parent Form Only Property.

• Controls are only in scope when the form they are defined on is visible and a Script Error, such as "Control <name> does not exist", will occur if an attempt is made to access them when the form is not visible. This means that if a Script run by a Timer Control's OnTimer Event will attempt to access controls on an invisible form, the Timer must be disabled on form unload.

• You can also enable or disable a Timer and change the timer interval using the SetControlEnabled, ClearControl or SetControlValue Methods.
