I am fairly new to VB but really enjoying programming. I'm looking to create a counter that counts to 25 and loops back around again with a button control and another button control to stop it. So I press a button to start and another to stop and I want it to display the number it stopped on. Is this possible? and how do I do it if it is? I can figure out how to display the label and create a simple counter(that doesn't loop), but I'm unsure on the rest.
I have this little application that runs a SQL query works great, now I want to have a Start Button run the and display results then System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(300 * 1000) for 5 min then run again and display results and loop till I buttonstop_click. unsure if the sleep is the best method.
I created a form and have the variable inputs for 4 motor run statements. Then with a start button the script starts and it is surrounded by a for next statement to loop 10 times. It works fine but if i need to stop the execution of the script with a stop button. I put the stop in a new section but of course does not work to do a motor stop. It just causes the exe to not respond till the loop is complete. Just need to be able to stop the Run1_Click button section.
Edit:I do not mind if it finishes the 4 motor run commands and then stops execution of the loop. So need to figure out a way to trigger a stop from a button on the form to stop the cycle. For the future the loop will be a variable integer input so 10 will not be the standard.
Edit::Does a ' Do ' statement sound like the thing to use? If so how and where would I place that? Have a Stop button on the form and it would stop after the 4th motor run command.
#End Region Declare Function InitStp Lib "stp.dll" () As Integer Declare Function RunMotor1 Lib "stp.dll" (ByVal steps As Integer, ByVal interval As Integer, ByVal direction As Integer, ByVal outputs As Integer) As Boolean
I am using VB 2010 , I have a loop that takes something like 5 minutes until it's finish. I want to allow the user the option to stop it in the middle or whenever they want. There's a button which starts the loop, and after I click it the loop starts running and the button is sort of "stuck".I saw something called "background work" in the VB Toolbox, can it be a solution to my problem?
I am trying to make an application with a start button and a stop button on a stop watch program. These are the codes I am using but my seconds on the stop watch don't start.
Public Form Dim intSecond As Integer = 0 Form 1 Private Dim intSecond As Integer = 0 intSecond +=1
[Code]...
After I write my code and try to run the program, the seconds will not start,
I currently have a working program that creates one colored pixel in a Bitmap, displays the bitmap in a pictureBox, and "jiggles" the pixel by making it move in a random direction by 1 pixel every time a button is clicked. I want to make the pixel move automatically until a Stop button is pressed.
Im hoping to create an auto clicker which had variable speed control, one button to start and pressing space to stop the application. When start is pressed i want it to click 2 or 3 different locations on my screen if this is posible with about a 1 second delay between each pointer move.i could really use some help with getting started or even better a link to an already created application for this.
I have written a function that gets the alexa ranking of a given url, now this function works perfectly but I want to loop through a ListView of urls and grab the alexa rank of each item (url) with my function.The code works great if I put a MessageBox in the loop to test that the function is returning a value but when I remove the MessageBox the loop does not work.I need it to loop through adding each result without a MessageBox stop in each loop.
vb For Each Item In ListView1.Items Dim result As Integer result = GetAlexaRank(Item.Text)
I have a form with many buttons on it and I would like to loop through all the controls in a group control and find out which button is clicked.
I plan to use the click event of the button and I know it's easy to create a click event procedure for all of the buttons but would like to avoid that.
I'd like to make a simple program where my form consists of a textbox and a button. Here's the ide in a nutshell:in form1_load I invoke the sub:
private Sub LoopingLesson() dim i as integer=1 while true
[code]....
what I want is when i hits certain value, like let's just say i is divisible by 365, then the 'while' looping will stop, and a message box saying "target reached" appear. then after I click button1, the looping will resume until it reaches the next number divisible by 365, and so on.
Alright, so I'm still working on the slot machine. I have three timers all independently going for my three "wheels" of the slot machine.
My issue, is that I'm trying to make a Stop button to stop each timer one at a time, and I'm not understanding why this code isn't working. The logic completely makes sense, and the first "wheel" stops when I click the button, however, it doesnt appear to stop the other two timers.
an application i developed using vb 2008 express, to fill a web form with data from an access database, one after another when a button is clicked hasn't given me what i expected. the loop was suposed to stop after filling web form with the first data on clicking a button and continue to fill the webform with the next(2nd) data from the database on clicking the button again. Below is the code i wrote
Private Sub STARTButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
I have a simple application that use thread pool to read a file and input the data into a listbox. I want to be able to stop threadpool from running after clicking a stop button. How do I stop threadpool? Here is the code for my application below:
Imports System.Threading Public Class Form1 Private Delegate Sub StringDelegate(ByVal text As String)
I have 3 forms. one main form with two buttons, that need to open one of the other two forms on clicking the button. Now when say button 2 is clicked then form 2 should open and also form form 2 person should be able to click back and come to main form.
Lets say i have 2 button, button1 and button2 , and and tabindex of 1 and 2 respectively . So my problem is , how can i access to particular button and set the button.enable = false by using tabindex?
For example , i have an integer of 2 , then it matches the integer with the tabindex , then it will disable the button2 .
One of the VBF member was asking how to add a close button on the BindingNavigator control once and reuse it on all other forms, so I try to create a custom bindingnavigator class that inherits the BindingNavigator class.Below is the inherited class:
[Code]...
The thing that I can't figure out is that it looks OK in design mode, but at run time, the custom binding navigator shows 2 "Close" buttons. Only one of them will close the form when clicked, the other one doesn't function. See the attached image.
As this Loops round, the answer for formula will eventually become the same as what was input, X. How can I get the Loop to stop when it has the same answer twice in a row? The counter will count how many times it has had to Loop before finding the repeated answer.
I need to run a do while loop or some way of starting a search directory loop, then if a user presses another key, it will stop that current search, and restart with the next letter entered. I appreciate any help given and insight. I am basically trying an incremental search feature, but currently whenever a user types in one letter, it does a full search, then on next letter it searches again. I want it to stop if they are still typing in letters.
If SearchTextBox.Text <> "" Then Do Until Form1.OnKeyPress 'NEED HELP HERE Try
I have something to ask again.. I develop a program that will send bulk messages but the problem is that when I load at least 1000 emails then I want to stop the application I cannot stop it. Is there any way to stop this application without closing the form? So that i can save the file on my listview? Here is my code upon send bulk emails. [code]...
I have a loop set up as [code]I need to know a way to break that loop at the current item it's on in the listbox (listbox1) via a button click (button8)
Is there any way to skip a the validating event of the active control when the close button of the form is clicked. It is very annoying when user wants to close the form, but due to the validate event of the active control, it asks for the valid input. The user is forced to give valid input to close the form. I have searched a lot for this on net but no any proper solution could be found.
I have 2 subs like below, and when I make a loop with 1000 iterations and capturePicture() in it. after 700 iterations the event is not raised anymore.
Public Sub capturePicture() Try AddHandler capturePic.FrameEvent2, AddressOf CaptureDone
