<Stn:Timer Name="AcceptTimer" >
Description
The Timer control can be used to automate certain steps in the user interface. Several timer objects can be defined in each panel or pop up panel with different properties. The timer object will execute the defined timeout handler when the defined timeout expires. It is also possible to define property properties on the timer to pass information to the timeout event handler.
All timer objects in a panel or pop up panel are started when the panel or pop up panel is displayed on the screen. The timers will be restarted as soon as any update occurs in the panel or pop up panel. This means that the timers will be restarted every time a coin is inserted
