Sometimes you want to do some (simple) tasks in the background at a certain interval. I don't mean async methods, but a simple control/object that you can add to your window or (more global) app, with just one event like "DoTask" and a setting to define the interval. Nothing more than that.

@marco Like a Timer? https://docs.creolabs.com/classes/Timer.html

Ah, yes, that exactly. I missed that, was looking for "background" ....

Thanks.

@marco The Timer is also available from the Objects panel (I mean, not only via code).

Yes, I know. I already found, added and tested it :). I my use it will always be used as a control.
