I have a StopWatch running, I convert the milliseconds to the following format. 00:00:00 i.e HH:MM:SS which is a label.
I can pause the the stopwatch and resume but I dont seem to be able to edit the stopwatchs time. So lets say my time says 00:00:02 , i now want to pause the program which I can, but also change the stopwatch time to 00:00:10 and resume counting.
Is it possible to pause and start the timer (so the current time doesn't get reset when the user clicks the button the second time)?

I'm searching a stopwatch like: HH:MM:SS. I need start and pause buttons. How i do this?
View 16 RepliesI designing a stopwatch type OO program and am stuck on trying to figure out the split time function of a stop watch. I want to list the split times in a list box as the user presses the split button and also display the final split time when the user presses the stop button. I feel I'm real close but just can't get over the hump, especially trying to code in OOP. The rest of my program works fine (start, stop, elapsed time). I am programming in VB 2005 and will display my relative code from both the class and form areas.

I have an application that has several stopwatches. I would like to be able to 'sync' a stopwatch with another at any given time. I tried setting the Elapsed time of one stopwatch to that of another stopwatch but I get that that property is 'read only'.
View 2 RepliesETA: Using Environment.TickCount does not present the same problem. ETA2: I should add that I don't actually use the Forms.Timer in my app - as this would negate the use of a high frequency timer. I've used it here to simplify the code.

I'm having trouble with a Stopwatch one one of the user's machines. I'm using the Stopwatch class to track time elapsed on one of my applications, and it seems to work fine on everyone else's machine, but on one machine it goes really slow. It's probably 1/3 or 1/4 of the actual time elapsed.

I'm currently trying to code a program which basically uses the stopwatch function to time the length of the users break. Basically when I work at home I want to allow my self 4% of my shift length in personal breaks.
So far I have
Public Class Form1

Dim ts As TimeSpan = elpsTmr.Elapsed
Private Sub txtshiftlength_TextChanged(ByVal sender _
As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtshiftlength.TextChanged

The only fields I don't have working are hard ones. I'm trying to figure out how to subtract the length of the last break used from the minutes allowed to take and display it in a text box to display how many minutes you have left to take. And also to work out how many minutes have been used since the program has been opened or reset.
Is it possible to trigger event whenever seconds on stopwatch change (that means every second, but it has to be synchronized with seconds)?

[code] This all works great but when the last line is run in Button 2 [code] another page is displayed before the data I am trying to get is available. There are more fields and another button to be pressed.

So if I don't have the sleep function then oasicer hasn't loaded and it says it's finished straight away, but if I call a 5s sleep then it crashes, and not for just 5 sec. Is there a replacement for this line? Something that would just delay going to the while loop?

2) I have some solutions under 2010. In 2 or 3, while debugging, I can change instructions without restarting the application. In others, I cannot change anything (Is like readonly), Looking in 'My Applications', Tab 'Debug', Option 'Configuration' I can choose several Options. In the applications I can debug, the default is 'Active (Debug)'; in the others is 'Active (Release)'. If I change the options, the word 'Active' remains attached to the original option.
Currently I'm using System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) to let my app pause/sleep for some time. This works great but I can't open my app anymore when it's sleeping and it uses about 25% of my CPU.

View 2 RepliesI am throwing some data out into Excel and am having some formatting troubles. I have 5 columns (date, time, a long number I don't want displayed in scientific notation - text is fine, text, text). I can get it all working with numberformat, however I have to do them different ways.
Date works this way cell.numberformat = "m/d/yy" and it formats it to say 3/1/11
Time works this way cell.numberformat = "h:mm AM/PM" and it formats it to say 8:07 AM
For the long number cell.numberformat = "@" and it doesn't change the format and it gets displayed in scientific notation
BUT if I use cell.style.numberformat = "@" it works as it should, but it messes up all of the date and time cells. Apparently when you use style.numberformat, it doesn't just apply to the cell you're working with. If I try using style.numberformat with the date and time formats, they don't change and are entered as if I didn't change the format at all.
I create an app, with it when I click a button it opens a new form on a second monitor.
This works perfectly, but every first time the app start and I open the second form, on my primary screen (right side) I see the border of the second form. When I click the button again, the form is hidden, and when I click it again, it appears again but then the border is gone.

I'm working on a simple base form in which all the other forms in the project will inherit. This base form only adds 5 properties (at the moment) dealing with painting a gradient background. The problem I'm facing right now is when I change a property on Form1 (the test form) and click run it doesn't show that change. I also checked the .designer.vb file and when I make a change it's not added to the code behind file, I'm at a loss right now to why.
