I've been trying to create a timer that waits for another timer to finish with its coding and, when it's finished, executes a series of code before stopping itself.
This isn't the code for the actual program I wanted to implement this self-stopping timer in, but it's simple and has the exact same problem:
Public Class Form1
Private Synchro As New Timer()
Private Sub MeLoad() Handles Me.Load
[Code].....
The idea here is that it's suppose to (using a timer) show the messagebox ONCE and ONLY once per button click. However, what seems to happen (despite the fact that I have 4 ways of trying to tell it to stop) is that the program creates multiple messageboxes until there are a total of about 49 messageboxes on the screen at the same time. I don't know if I'm using the wrong event (unlikely as Tick seems to be the only timer event) or there's a way of stopping the timer that I don't know.
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.
I have an application in which there is a do...loop. I need the do...loop to perform some code and then stop for .1 of a second. When i try using System.Threading.Thread.sleep(), a wait cursot comes up and the application stops working. I was wondering if there was any way to get the thread to stop without stopping the application.
I'm trying to figure out the code for the timer that would allow me to stop the timer after X number of runs through the code. Here's what I have so far:
im tmr_cnt As Integer tmr_cnt = tmr_cnt + 1 If CInt(boxAns.Text) = CInt(lblnum1.Text) / CInt(lblnum2.Text) Then
I'm new to VB and relatively fresh in programming in general. I'm trying to write code to make a label flash red. The method involves using a timer. Problem is, it flashes, but I can't figure out how to make it stop. xD Here's my
Private Sub SeleneExplainsToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SeleneExplainsToolStripMenuItem.Click lblNumbers.ForeColor = Color.Red Timer1.Enabled = True AddHandler Timer1.Tick, AddressOf OnTimerEvent End Sub
I have a background worker which runs, at the start it stops a timer which has it's interval set to 500ms, at the end of the bgworker sub it starts it again. I've debugged and found out that the line that starts the timer up again (tTimer.Enabled=True) runs. However the timer does not resume. I'm don't know, but I'm thinking perhaps because I'm stopping and starting it on another thread it's not resuming properly or the sub it was attached to (via AddHandler) has been reset or something so it's running but not running the code in the sub it was attached to. If I never stop the timer in the code, it continues to run just fine, but I need it to stop at the start.
Basically I am trying to get my timer to stop when it reaches a randomly generated number.
I have dimmed num2 as integer (num2 is timer) I have dimmed num3 as integer (num 3 is random number) I have done num3 = randNum.Next (0, 8)
My timer is working perfectly and counts from 0 -8. My randomly generated number works too, so how do i get the timer to stop when it reaches the random num?
I have tried; if num2 = num3 then timer1.enabled = false But that didn't work
I am using Timer Event in "Form1".By Running Timer Event i am getting data.
I want to STOP the Timer by clicking on Stop button.The Stop Button is in "Form2"
My Problem is When i click on Form2 Stop Button,the timer is still running mode.The Timer event is not going to stop.
I tested about Timer How to stop in sample appplication.In sample Application its working fine.When my Project application its not working(Timer not go to STOP)
I created 3 timers, i want each timer to take turn start which means timer1 stop then timer2 start, once timer2 stop timer3 start. But my code seem to be running together once i click the play button.And is there any ways to easy control how my picturebox move? Because my code for controlling it movement need to keep finding the correct number for it to move.[code]

i added a timer for download speed calculation, but somewhere i did an error. After download is complete the kb/s counter still racing and stop debug has to be done by "Stop debugging" and not on close button.
I have a class (e.g. see Client class below) that holds details of clients that are connected to a server app of mine. In the class is a timer of type (System.Timers.Timer) which is supposed to act like a timeout notifier. When I send a message to a client I start the timer within the corresponding object. When I receive a message from a client I check where I received the message from and stop the timer in the corresponding object. If I dont receive a message within the defined period then an event is raised from within the object and I resend the message again. I do this a maximum of two times before giving up.[code]...
How can I get a timer to run one interval,one interval only, and stop? Until now I have only used timers to keep running until I say to stop. Also I need a timer that will start at the beginning of, and run until any given process is completed.Upon completion it should shut off and tell me how long the process took. Kinda like a stop watch with a Stop / Start "Trigger".
I have a sub routine that connects to a database. If the database is unavailable it takes about 45 seconds to timeout, even though I used connect timeout=10 in the connection string.
So I figured I would try using a timer. This is how I have it Private Sub SQLConn() Timer.start() SQL.Open() Timer.stop() Private Sub Timer2_Tick (this is where I need to put a command to stop the sub SQLConn)
I have the timer set at 10 seconds. Unless there is a better way to do this what command can I use to stop the connection or the sub?
I have a process that i call, if it doesnt end within a certain time, i want the process to be killed and the loop to only continue after this. if i thread the timer it never tics. If i thread the process it never does as its suppose to.
Code:
Imports System.IO Imports System.Threading Public Class Form2
i hv task to perform in timer which includes msgbox of type YesNo it should stop to get the response (Yes or No) but it is showing msgboxes continously. i want the apllication to stop for response (Timer also) as it does in vb6.0 i hv attached the file(see it to get the exact idea of problem)
I'm working on a reaction time program where I'll be testing... well, reaction time of a user. For this program I'll need a timer to stop at a random time interval, say somewhere between 3 and 10 seconds. Anyone know of a technique to do this. I've done some research and it seems there are a bunch of different ways of generating a random number just not sure how to assign that number to a timer.
I used this code to read my question Dim objVoice As New SpeechLib.SpVoice objVoice.Speak(question.Text) how can I not stop my form from pausing when the reading started because it will stop my timer and continue after finishing reading it. I want my timer to be continuous while the the voice is reading it the timer will not pause but will still run.
I have a ListBox with proxy and a webbrowser, the webbrowser has a timer for navigate to some urls. I want stop the timer when the listbox(proxy) is empty.Example:1-I got 10 proxy in a listbox and 20 Urls in other listbox: I want to stop the webbrowser when the last proxy was used.
