OOP Question

[Sharrukin Amiri]

Can you implement a Timer in a class module to that the method of that class
fires roughly every 2 seconds? I am trying to avoid looping because it uses
a lot of CPU time.

do
.....
loop

Thanks!

Yes, you can use System.Threading.Timer, which, according to the
documentation
"Provides a mechanism for executing a method at specified intervals."

There are actually 3 different timers available in .NET:
System.Threading.Timer
System.Timers.Timer
System.Windows.Forms.Timer

and each has its appropriate usage. See this article for more details
on which to choose:
