Add Timer Control Dialog

Use this dialog to add a new timer control to your web service.

# Step 1: Specify a Name for This Control

Enter a unique name for this timer control. The name that you choose will be the variable name that you use to refer to this timer control in your code.

# Step 2: Specify Settings for Attributes of the Timer Control

The timeout attribute specifies the interval until the timer fires for the first time. This value is required, and should include a number followed by a unit designation. For example, a valid setting is "10 s", to specify that the timer fires after ten seconds.

The repeats-every attribute specifies the interval at which the timer fires after the first time. This value is optional, and should also include a number followed by a unit designation.

## Control Factories

If you make this a control factory, web services can dynamically create multiple instances of this control. To learn more about control factories, see Control Factories: Managing Collections of Controls.
