+// CLASS DECLARATION
+/**
+ *  Class providing access to flexible timer service.
+ *  This class uses RFlexTimer to provide user with timeout services. Each
+ *  timeout that is requested with this class has a time window during which
+ *  it may expire. The size of this window needs to be configured by the user.
+ *  If not configured, a default window size is used. See RFlexTimer for 
+ *  details about default window. 
+ *  
+ *  This class can not be instantiated; it needs to be inherited by a
+ *  user's derived class. The user also needs to implement the RunL
+ *  function.
+ *  
+ *  The timer returns one of the following values for TRequestStatus or any
+ *  other system-wide error codes:
+ *  
+ *  <table border=1 bordercolor="#84B0C7" cellspacing="0" align="center">
+ *  <tr>
+ *      <th>Return value</th>
+ *      <th>Description</th>
+ *      <th>@c At()</th>
+ *      <th>@c AtUTC()</th>
+ *      <th>@c After()</th>
+ *  </tr>
+ *  <tr>
+ *      <td>@c KErrNone</td>
+ *      <td>Timer has expired normally</td>
+ *      <td align="center">X</td>
+ *      <td align="center">X</td>  
+ *      <td align="center">X</td>
+ *  </tr>
+ *  <tr>
+ *      <td>@c KErrCancel</td>
+ *      <td>Timer has been cancelled</td>
+ *      <td align="center">X</td>
+ *      <td align="center">X</td>
+ *      <td align="center">X</td>
+ *  </tr>
+ *  <tr>
+ *      <td>@c KErrAbort</td>
+ *      <td>Timer has been aborted due time change</td>
+ *      <td align="center">X</td>
+ *      <td align="center">X</td>
+ *      <td align="center">&nbsp;</td>
+ *  </tr>
+ *  </table>
+ *  
+ *  Any object derived from this class needs to connect to the flextimer
+ *  server by calling CFlexTimer::ConstructL() function before calling 
+ *  configuration or timeout functions. Otherwise any timeout function will
+ *  result in panic.
