There are many ways to kill a cat ! If I think I have something to share I have to share it iregardless of whether it's a 2 or 10 year old question. Someone might be having the same problem right now, this guy is not the first one having this problem and probably not the last. That answer will probably help someone maybe 5 years from now ! That's what open source community is for. If you are not a fan of open source, you should probably try Apple !

This guy was talking about pausing the timer. The timer control cannot be paused and by the way, the timer acts as some form of a loop, so instead of using the timer, you can put the code into a thread that can be paused/stopped and then reignited again ! It's correct if you want your code to have some breaks/lapses.
