public abstract class SmartGwtTimer
extends java.lang.Object
SmartGwtTimer is an alternative to GWT's built-in
Timer class that may allow code to be
executed more efficiently. The SmartClient Framework is aware of threads run using a
SmartGwtTimer, so extra work (e.g. reflowing
Layout members, refreshing
DrawItems, etc.) queued by a timer's
run() method gets processed before it returns control to its caller, instead of
being scheduled to run in a future (second) timer call.
Note that if you are replacing or updating components in a
Timer and notice a visible flash, switching to a
SmartGwtTimer, which offers identical public APIs to Timer, may
solve the issue.
