wxWidgets both has a wxTimer and a wxStopWatch class. The use
of wxTimer is very much recommended as it can interact with
the GUI (by sending an event *safely* to the main GUI thread).
If you are using an outside class, you would have to use
a thread or intermittent polling from the main thread, which
is likely not what you want.
