SUMMARY

The Visual Basic timer control is very useful for initiating specific code at certain time intervals. Microsoft Windows version 3.0 allows up 16 timers, and Microsoft Windows version 3.1 allows up to 32 timers. Windows requires the use of one of the timers for itself, so you can have up to 15 timers in a Visual Basic version 1.0 or 2.0 application in Windows version 3.0 and up to 31 timers in Microsoft Windows version 3.1.
