Method Detail

getTickOffset

public abstract int getTickOffset()
Returns the offset between the tick count used by the Wrapper for time keeping and the tick count generated directly from the system time.

This will be 0 in most cases. But will be a positive value if the system time is ever set back for any reason. It will be a negative value if the system time is set forward or if the system is under heavy load. If the wrapper.use_system_time property is set to TRUE then the Wrapper will be using the system tick count for internal timing and this value will always be 0.

Returns: The tick count offset.

getTicks

public abstract int getTicks()
Returns the tick count at the point the event is fired.

Returns: The tick count at the point the event is fired.
