Is it possible to set off a timer, and get the time elapsed later, say when a user clicks a button?

Thanks

Timers are not for measuring elapsed time, but merely for waking you up at some future point.

If you want to measure elapsed time, just record the starting time when some event happens, then later when the user clicks the button, record the time again and subtract the two values. No QTimer required.

And by "record the time" I mean of course use the JavaScript Date class, generally something like "var x = new Date()", possibly with an extra .getTime() added to pull out the time in milliseconds.

See QTime's start(), ellapsed(), and restart() methods.
