Code:

form = createFormFromFile("Form.FRM")
form_show(form)
t = createTimer(nil) -- Why pass nil as a parameter, is it important?
timer_onTimer(t, printasd)
timer_setInterval(t,3000)
timer_setEnabled(t, false)

function toggle(sender)
if (control_getCaption() == 1) then
timer_setEnabled(t, true)
else
timer_setEnabled(t, false)
end
end

function printasd()
print("asd")
end

Changing a checkbox that calls toggle() crashes CE and prints "Error: Invalid class object". Also what does the argument to createTimer() mean?

control_getCaption() needs as parameter an object that inherits from the Control Class and it returns a string

If you are using 6.3 you can use this code:

Code:

function toggle(sender)
t.Enabled=sender.Checked
end

if you're using 6.2 or earlier then use this:

Code:

if (checkbox_getState(sender)==cbChecked) then
timer_setEnabled(t, true)
else
timer_setEnabled(t, false)
end

the parameter passed to createTimer is the owner. If the owner gets destroyed, the timer gets automatically destroyed as well
