Can timer objects be paused?

I want to add a feature to my GUI that allows the user to pause
operations.

If the user presses the pause button will the timer object continue
to operate?

Is there any way to work around this problem?

Ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated

Thanks
Iain

Sort of.  What I'd do is stop the timer when you want to pause it, and
start it back up when you want to continue.  The details of this could be
trivial or complicated depending on how your timer is set up.

It will operate until it satisfies its stop criteria or you manually stop
it.
