Time Delay - Make GUI Program To Delay Before The Next Command

Dec 21, 2009

I know that time delays have been covered before around almost everywhere. however a method that forgoes forcing the GUI to become temporarily non-responsive, is all but a myth, or at least to my findings. i have the need for a GUI program to delay before the next command, however using the current method, detailed following, it causes the desired effect however it dose make it much less polished as when you click anything else on the GUI it goes un-responsive for the directed time. [Code] make a sub called say Tdelay( milseconds as integer) and have it run a loop as many times as the milseconds variable indicates and each time making the thread delay for 1 milsecond and then update the GUI/form in some way, then re-loop.

Delay The Execution Of The Send Key Command?

Apr 16, 2012

I am trying to delay the execution of the send key command. In VB script, it was relatively easy:

obj.sendkeys "{enter}"
wscript.sleep 1000
obj.sendkeys "{tab} {tab}"

When I do it via VB express, it is clumping the code together. For example

Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)
SendKeys.Send("enter was entered ")
Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)
SendKeys.Send("double tab was input ")

Instead of pausing for 5 seconds, typing the keys then pausing for another 5 seconds, it pauses for 10 seconds and then immediately types the input. I tested this on notepad.

How do I replicate the sleep feature in VB script into VB? There appears not to be a sleep feature in VB Express 2010

Slide Show - Allow User To Set Delay Time For Each Photo?

Apr 26, 2011

I was asked to create a slide show in Visual Basic 2010 that had to meet certain requirements but I've run into a few difficulties. I have a slide show that works but it doesn't meet my friends standard and I'm not sure how to go about this process.He asked me to meet these requirements: The Slide Show Project requirements of your project are:

1. The use of if statements.

2. The use of arrays.

3. The use of loops.

4. The use of graphics.

5. The use of key/mouse controls.

6. The use of images.

7. Allow user to set delay time for each photo.

8. Transition effects 1: Fade in, fade out

9. Transition effects 2: Fly in, Fly out

10. The use of timers.

11. Borderless, always centered.

12. Introduction Screen, Credit Screen.

13. innovations, special feature.

The code that I had previously came up with was as follows:

Public Class Form1
Private ImageFileNames As New List(Of String)
Private CurrentImage As Integer = -1[code].....

I pre-loaded my own photos into the slide show but I just want to know how to right this code in order to satisfy my friend.

Making A Messenger - Program A Slight Delay In The Computer's Answer?

Jan 15, 2010

I'm working on a project where I make a automatic messenger from VBnet. I want to program a simple one that responds to certain words or phrases. However, I only know the rough basics of If...Then commands. I have a lot of problems:

1. How do I make it so the messages typed in the box actually goes up into the script box when I press send?

2. How do I program a slight delay in the computer's answer?

3. How do I set a name to the computer and to me?

4. How do I make the script goes into scrolling when it runs out of space.

5. If possible, when I type an equation in the box, can I program the computer to solve it and display the answer? I'm a beginner so I don't really know the overall organization of this project. However, I would like it to remain as simple as possible.

Set Delay Between Code?

Dec 8, 2006

I would like to enquire how I can set a delay in between chunks of code.For example, after some code which interacts with a server, I am supposed to get a corresponding information from the server before it is appropriate to proceed on to the next part of the code. As the server response is not immediate, therefore an arbitrary delay is needed.What is the proper code format that I need to add?

VS 02/03 .NET + VB6 Web Application Delay?

Dec 1, 2011

I am dealing with a web application that includes VB.NET (UI) & VB6 middleware (DLLs).One of our installs, a Win 2003 Server/IIS 6 environment shows a 2 minute delay after the application login page.The application has been added to Trusted Sites & is not in a DMZ. It uses Forms authentication.

I am looking for ideas on what might be causing the delay. The code is difficult to access and I would like to leave that as a last resort. I realize it's not much to go on but I am hoping someone here has run into a similar problem.

C# - Delay The Need To Specify T In Asp.net User Control?

Aug 16, 2011

My dilemma: I have a POCO: "ReportSource" that is generic. I have a user control wrapping up some report building logic. My user control defines a ReportSource property but it will ultimately be the job of the page that calls the user control to assign that ReportSource property. How can I define the property in my user control without specifying a T? Btw, I tried (just for larks) to make the user control generic... That ended badly. public ReportSource<T> ReportSource {get; set;} (Note that I've tagged this as C# and VB.net... C# is my norm, but I'm having to deal w/ legacy.
