For Loop Convert To TIMER Event
Aug 21, 2009I have a For Loop, how can I convert that by using Timer event. I want to use Timer so I can add a 5 sec, 10 sec and 15 sec pause (interval) for each every loop. [code]

View 1 RepliesI have a timer on a page in ASP.NET.
After a certain period of time elapses, I want to disable the timer.
I want to put a static variable in the timers tick event that will track how many seconds have elapsed.
My question is, will this work?
If user X and Y are viewing the page will they both have separate local static variables?
What is the best method of shutting down an ASP.NET timer after a certain elapsed time?
I have a windows application that need to process som quite time consuming jobs. In my first try i did all processing under
the form thread. The result was bad response and update of the form due to the heavy jobs.To get around the problem with bad response from the form i created a new class "processing" where i put all the data processing. Then i instanciated a background worker where i in the "doWork" sub created a new instance of "processing".The "processing" class creates a timer from system.timer, and the timer drives the processing.On the Timer event Elapsed the timer starts a new thread from the thread pool.
My problem is now when i want to asynchronously close the background worker (with the corresponding function call what ever it is called ...) there is still a timer thread out there that causes exceptions for me.
1. How can i close my background worker and at the same time have the timer to be stopped?
2. Is there a way to synchronize the timer event so that the timer executes from the background worker thread?
3. Is there a better approach for me to adapt?
I want to create an array of timer in vb.net. My problem is that how will i raise the tick event for a particular timer, say mytimer(x).tick and inside the tick event there is also a button, say mybutton(x) which changes location every interval. for example:
public class blah
dim mybuttons(20) as button
dim mytimer(20) as timer
private sub form_load(....) handles me.load
for x as integer = 0 to 20
[Code]...
i dont know what to do next, all i want is to pass the button mybuttons(x) to mytimer(x) tick event, in which their index number are the same. i want to create one timer per button. how to do that? please help me and post example codes. i've researched the net but i cant understand passing variables, addhandlers, etc. i'm just new to programming object oriented.
Eg. ""vb.net" timer event trigger on purpose". This application is meant to run at all times to download a web page every minute. To avoid freezing the UI, I read that the best solution is to move the code from a While/Sleep loop to a Timer that will be triggered every minute. The problem I have, is that the user must wait for a minute before the event is triggered:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Timer1.Interval = 60000
Timer1.Enabled = True
[CODE]...
Is it possible to force this event to occur instead of waiting for it?
I have a label who's text is determined by looping through a listbox upon a click event. I would like to have a timer loop through the listbox (... to set the label's text) if the button is not pressed in time ('x' seconds).

I have tried to replace it with a timer but cant get it to work rightwhat this dose is sends a line of text to a notepad one line at a time with a pause in between each line that is sent to the notepad, now the big number "Num" is what gives me the passing right now but with those big numbers it slows my app down.
How can i make a trial program that has a 15 second countdown timer before the start button is active?[code]...

View 5 RepliesI have been battling with resizing a form in code, using either a timer or a for loop. When I say resizing, what I want to do is create the effect of a rolldown/rollup window. On my form, I have a groupbox with search criteria options, and underneath the groupbox, I have a datagridview with several buttons.
The effect I'm trying to create can be seen in Windows XP Security Centre; when you open up the security centre screen, you have your firewall, automatic updates and virus protection areas; to the right of each, there is a small round button, with either an up or down arrow, depending on whether the section is rolled up or down. When you click the button, the section rolls down or up smoothly.

I have a For/Next Loop that adds values to column in a DataGridView. I want to set up a timer to slow the For/NExt Loop down. So the DGV will load and then the user will click button on the form and the DGV will have numbers added into all the rows of a specific column. For simplicity, assume I want to load the numbers 1-100 into each cell and I want to see each number as its passed.
I am not sure how t set up the time to work with the For/Next Loop in the Button1_Click event. Do I have to use a Timer1_Tick event as well and somehow associate it with Button1_Click event?

I dont have a very good background in vb, so hopefully there is a simple way to do this.Basically what we have is a vb timer that is counting time is seconds. After fixed amounts of time, in this case 2 seconds, the if statements trigger certain events. Essentially what I want to do is say: after timer reaches st*2 (18 seconds) then restart the timer at zero. Is there any way to do this?

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to use the timer (not a Timer object) in a Do... Until loop. I want the loop to put a single variable into a label. When I do this it works and puts the value into the label (lblOxygenReading):
If btnGetOxygen.Text = "Get Oxygen Reading" Then
Select Case True
Case rdoColorWhite.Checked
strCurrentColor = "White"
Case rdoColorRed.Checked

It goes through the Do loop and the For.. next loop but doesn't change the label. Visual Studio doesn't show any errors when I'm writing the code, but when I run it, it hangs somewhere.

I'm trying to enable a timer from a SerialPort_DataReceived event. I can see that the timer is enabled, but the event does not fire. It's rather simple, but I need some help understanding why it doesn't run the code in TimerWait_Tick.

I used a timer in my user control now when Timer_Tick event is fired I want to raise an event like Ticked. I created:
public delegate sub myDel()
public event myevnt as myDel
in Timer.Tick
I used raiseEvent myevnt. I also raised the event from a button click. This event is handled in a windows form where the control is used, My problem is event is firing when the button is clicked but not firing from the timer.tick. Is there any problem from Timer.Tick.
I'm a starter in VB I just need to Know how to add elapsed event to timer in VB 2005 The timer has only Tick event
( if that not in vb 2005 what version of vb that supports the elapsed event )
I am currently developing an application in which I would make a form full size automaticly.On the location where I set the time parameters, lets say, I want an event to occur every 2 hours, in which the event would be a form becoming full-sized and, on that form a clock which would show that the form will resize on its original state after lets say, 15 minutes.And also I would like to disable the Windows Start keys.I tried some codes but they were for an event if the key is pressed.For this I need the keys to be disabled as soon as I start my application.For the full size form I have used this code:
Me.Height = My.Computer.Screen.WorkingArea.Height
Me.Width = My.Computer.Screen.WorkingArea.Width
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
I have a program that a textbox pops up for 30 sec. What I want to do is this: Have it go away after 30 sec if the user does not enter anything in it and hit return of click the ok button. But if they DO I want the timer to reset back to 30 sec. I have tried disabling and enabling the timer event--- sending a new interval, and spent some time looking in the Forums.

I'm trying to create a simple media player that will scan a directory for certain filetypes, add them to a playlist then play a random playlist entry - changing every x seconds.I figured this would be simple in VB and, to an extent it was. I have the code running that chooses the directory and plays the random file.I just need to now make this repeat every 30 seconds or so.I have all the coded attached under the sub for the 'open' function of the player so it's quite flat. I think I need to use a timer here, to trigger the routine to pick and play the media every 30 seconds?In doing this I think I need to break the variables out of the function I currently have as they need to be shared between the timer loop function and the central 'creating file list' function.
I'm having trouble - I'm no coder (as you'll tell!) and although getting this far was easy I'm now (I think) bumping into threading / variable scope issues which are a bit of a brick wall.I've tried making the variables public / global by declaring in the class rather than the sub but I get errors at runtime. Presumably because of how I'm creating the windows media objects? [code]
