## Detailed Description

        public:
            ...
            void OnTimer(wxTimerEvent& event);

        private:
            wxTimer m_timer;
            wxDECLARE_EVENT_TABLE();
        };

        wxBEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(MyFrame, wxFrame)
            EVT_TIMER(TIMER_ID, MyFrame::OnTimer)
        wxEND_EVENT_TABLE()

        MyFrame::MyFrame()
               : m_timer(this, TIMER_ID)
        {
            m_timer.Start(1000);    // 1 second interval
        }

        void MyFrame::OnTimer(wxTimerEvent& event)
        {
            // do whatever you want to do every second here
        }
