stop the timer bean from starting :)

I have loaded the timer bean into my form and created a ‘start’ button’ and a stop button that do the right things.
Trouble is, when the form loads the bean starts the clock automatically. how can I stop the bean from starting until the button is pressed?
Am I missing something obvious here?
I tried to find an initialise method - but no luck :(

Are you referring to the Schuduler bean? If so you can check if any Scheduler ‘jobs’ are running and remove them.

Following examples are from the ‘Move Sample’ options:

// Returns an array of current jobnames
plugins.scheduler.getCurrentJobNames()

// removes a job ‘myjob’ from the scheduler
plugins.scheduler.removeJob(‘myjob’)

Or probably you are just speaking about the iClock bean…

Anyway you can just add a method to the onShow() or to the onLoad() property of your form. In file / solution settings menu you can also define an “on open method” that is fired when your application starts.

Hope this helps…
