Browser Technology Timer API Timers are essential to multimedia and animation applications. Good animation depends on timer accuracy and synchronization between multiple time-dependent components. Developers can use the Microsoft Timer API to synchronize time-dependent components such as audio and video clips.
Timers are necessary for many operations.
By single-threaded components to do background processing on the main user interface thread. By applications when an external source must be polled, or the rate of change of a control is unknown. In these cases, developers use periodic timers to check for change or new data. By developers to synchronize real-time computer animation. The following topics are discussed in this article.
