## Time functions

The functions in this section deal with getting the current time and starting/stopping the global timers. Please note that the timer functions are deprecated because they work with one global timer only and wxTimer and/or wxStopWatch classes should be used instead. For retrieving the current time, you may also use wxDateTime::Now or wxDateTime::UNow methods.

::wxGetElapsedTime
::wxGetLocalTime
::wxGetLocalTimeMillis
::wxGetUTCTime
::wxStartTimer

### ::wxGetElapsedTime

long wxGetElapsedTime(bool resetTimer = TRUE)
