how to access a timer from another class?

HI All,

in one class I want to be able to enable a timer in a different class. I was thinking of adding a support method to class and use that one to enable the timer instead of accessing the timer directly ( not sure if that makes even any sense).

At the moment I have something like this

using System;
using System.Timers;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
using NetGore;
using NetGore.Graphics;
using NetGore.Graphics.GUI;
using SFML.Graphics;
using SFML.Window;
 
namespace DemoGame.Client
{
    public class BattleScreenForm : Form
    {
        Timer  BeginTimer;
 
        /// <summary>
        /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="BattleScreenForm"/> class.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="parent">The parent.</param>
        public BattleScreenForm(Control parent, Vector2 pos)
            : base(parent, pos, new Vector2(1024, 768))
        {
 
           BeginTimer = new Timer();
            BeginTimer.Interval = 50;
            BeginTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(BeginTimer_Tick);
        }
        public void EchteBegin()
        {
        BeginTimer.Enabled = true;
        }
        public void BeginTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
          //  do some stuff
        }
   }
}

in the other class I have something like this

 BattleScreenForm Newbattle = new BattleScreenForm(......., new Vector2(1024, 768));
                    Newbattle.EchteBegin();

The problem is that I don't know what I have to put in the (...) of the new BattleScreenForm(). is it (Control parent, Vector2 pos) and if so what do I have to put in there for the control parent part because I tried several things like NetGore.Graphics.GUI.Panel but that ofcourse is a type instead of variable.

I hope someone clever understands what Í just said and can help me out.

Thanks in advance
