auto_reset() [1/2]

bool xtd::timers::timer::auto_reset ( ) const

noexcept

Gets a boolean indicating whether the xtd::timers::timer should raise the xtd::timers::timer::elapsed event only once (false) or repeatedly (true).

Returns

true if the xtd::timers::timer should raise the xtd::timers::timer::elapsed event each time the interval elapses; false if it should raise the xtd::timers::timer::elapsed event only once, after the first time the interval elapses. The default is true.

Remarks

If the xtd::timers::timer is already enabled when the xtd::timers::timer::start method is called, the interval is reset. If xtd::timers::timer::auto_reset is false, the xtd::timers::timer::start method must be called in order to start the count again.

Resetting the interval affects when the xtd::timers::timer::elapsed event is raised. For example, if you set the interval to 5 seconds and then set the xtd::timers::timer::enabled property to true, the count starts at the time xtd::timers::timer::enabled is set. If you reset the interval to 10 seconds when the count is 3 seconds, the xtd::timers::timer::elapsed event is raised for the first time 13 seconds after the xtd::timers::timer::enabled property was set to true.
