I received an email back from the author of the control referenced at http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/MyTimerCtrl. He said he was unable to locate a backup of the source code. If it's alright with everyone here, I'd like to go ahead with my implementation. It's functional, although somewhat primitive at the moment. I'm actively improving it, and I hope to have a beta-quality version ready within a few weeks.

Maybe you can get good ideas from that implementation or you can even reuse some of the code if the other author agrees. > With respect to the second implementation you mentioned, I compiled > it, and it seems similar to my version.

And wxCode is certainly a place where people are already used to search for wxWidgets components. > I don't care which version ends up in wxCode, as long as some version > gets there, because I think the control is useful. Right. Of course I would prefer a version which is _maintained_. > I did note, however, that the poster of the source code mentions > that the original code was found on the net, without specifying what > the original licensing scheme was. That's one of the reasons why it's good to check those 2 other implementations. The license scheme of the wxCode components should be clearly defined (preferably it should follow the wxWindows (aka wxWidgets) license scheme). > I derived my control from the source code for a generic wxSpinCtrl, > and I'm willing to release my contributions under the wxWindow's > license so that there shouldn't be any licensing issue with my code. Very good. (Certainly every author is free to choose whatever license he prefers, but it's nice to have most wxCode components under the wxWindows license.) As soon as I receive notice from you how to proceed in respect of the first mentioned other implementation I'll set up your component in wxCode.
