I have dragged and droped a timer control "tmrGetMappingXML" from the Common Controls Tab in Tool Box. The issue that I am mentioning also appears for the Timer Control present in the Components Tab in tool box.
In the form Load I have written:
HTML
tmrGetMappingXML.Interval = 3600 '1 Hour = 3600 Seconds
tmrGetMappingXML.Enabled = True
tmrGetMappingXML.Start()
The timer interval is also set in the design time to 3600 seconds. But the Tick event of the timer fires continuously every second.
I have asp.net chart intervel issue. I am feed data to chart like below X1 Y1 X2 Y2 100 907 500 2395 100 745 500 2343 100 760 500 2403 Each row is a series in the chart.
In am iterating each row in code and making new serie and adding to chart series1.Points.AddXY(dt.Rows(i)(0).ToString, dt.Rows(i)(1).ToString) series1.Points.AddXY(dt.Rows(i)(2).ToString, dt.Rows(i)(3).ToString) Chart is coming like it is fine. Now I want make interval like 100,200,300,400, 500 (500 is max of the graph). I tried Chart1.ChartAreas(0).AxisX.Interval = 100, It did not worked out.
I am using Timer control as a stopwatch to populate couple of Label controls text field. I am listing the code below which is not updating the Label fields. I have removed the code related to buttons and other controls. Why is the Timer1_Tick not being invoked? The code is compiling clean and when I walked thru the debugger, my Start_Timer() and Stop_Timer() subroutines are working. However, nothing is happening in the Timer1_Tick() subroutine. I would like someone
Dim MyTime As New DateTime Dim MyCondition As Integer = 0
So, I have two timers. 1 Timer is set with an interval of 1000 (milliseconds), therefore it goes off every 1 second. For some reason, when I set the interval on the same timer to 1, it goes off 100 times every second. Shouldn't it go off 1000 times every second? What's going on?
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 an animation program which allows users to import and animate images. I do this using timer events. I have a listbox which contains the image references, and a Image which displays the chosen image. Here is the
When the user clicks the "Animate" button:
vb.net Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles animate.Click Dim cananimate As Boolean = True
[Code].....
I want to make a dialog to appear and allow the user to select a custom FPS for the animation. For instance, if they type 15, the listbox must go down 15 images in 1 second. But how do I convert FPS to a timer interval?
When a button is clicked on my forum i need it to enable a timer that has a RANDOM inverval. how to do it or give an example. (im trying to create an autotyper that types a given phrase at random times)
I am trying to write a simple code that will essentially change the background oclor of a form from say red to green, like every five seconds.(Actually, it will be green 4 and red 6 seconds). I set my timer interval to 1000 and enabled it. So when I write my if/then statements in the timer area, would I be using timer.interval <=4, or timer.interval <=4000 to count off four seconds?
I don't know much about vb.net so I'm hoping this is something that can be done fairly easily. We currently have a system where valves are fired by checkboxes (representing each valve) being checked at certain intervals and when the last valve is switched the timer restarts in order for the sequence to repeat itself. We would like to be able to have a textbox in the form where we can just type in the interval at which the valves (checkboxes) switch without having to change the interval manually in the code each time we want to change it. Currently in our code we just have a set interval. Here's the code:
I have an MDI form, and all of its children have a timer control. I also have an options form where the user can change the automatic refresh interval, which is loaded from the parent. The interval is stored in My.Settings.UpdateInterval as a Double.What is the best way to update all of the timer interval of the Children? Can the Children listen for an event in the parent form (UpdateIntervalChanged)?
my event in timer goes too fast, i need to slower it. the interval is ok, i cant use sleep because it freeze everything ( webbrowser control ) and it need to stay active not freezing. i tried application. doevents() no result same problem, is there a way to do what i need? its a program that automatically fill a webbrowser form and restart every-time. there no logout button so i need to use setmouseposition and mouse_event but timer do event too fast one after other and if i use sleep everything go wrong.
am really getting to know more about programming each day. really interesting. i have a form with some labels.. i need each label to display a text after certain time of the time count. i have this piece i put together.. didnt work but i guess it need a little professional touch.
I'm working on a small game that I want to sync with the intensity of the music. I have a timer added and I want the interval to change with the intensity of the song playing. How would I go about doing this? I tried playing with Zplay and BASS.net with no luck.
my function is to adjust a timer interval according to a integer variable.
Original code (works fine):
Code: Dim UpdateSnakeSpeed Select Case UpdateSnakeSpeed Case currentscore > 199
[Code]....
This is the code I'm using right now. (works fine and is more logically correct than the above case statement. I have chosen to go with if .. end if statements over case, as I do not have a full understanding of what the variable SnakeUpdatespeed is doing in the Select case statement. If someone explains then I'll consider it. Also I know case statments are only meant to be used for 1 option selections, however I'm amazed that it still works in case. Atm it's going to be if end if. Now I'm trying to get the for next loop going with this (if it's logically possible). that's what i'm aiming overall out of this thread. To make a convenient loop.
I have been making an online role playing-game in VB2008 and inside the gameloop for the client there is some code that "smoothes" out the movement (instead of it being choppy from tile to tile.) It works pretty well but I'm having problems figuring out a math formula to get a good frame timer interval to set how fast the frames change based on how many pixels they can move per loop.Testing stuff out I found that 250ms is an ideal frame timer interval for 1.0 pixel movement per loop. If I were to double the movement step of pixels by 2 lets say (2.0 pixel step per loop) I found that the frame timer interval should be around 125ms. How can I get the frame timer interval by the movement step of pixels? In cases where the movement step can anything between 0.1 to 4.0 pixels.
I have a problem with the Timer class in that there is a chance that a timer would fire right before you call Dispose() since you will probably call Dispose() from some other thread. You may have something like:
Public Sub TimerTick() Handles itsTimer.Elapsed Do Something End Sub
And then from somewhere else in the code, when your app is done, you call
itsTimer.Dispose()
The only way I can think of doing this is:
Public Sub SomeMethod() SyncLock(itsTimer.SynchronizingObject) itsTimer.Dispose()[code]...
This is not a great thing to do esp. since I am holding a lock on an object I am disposing. I can create my own lock and syncLock on that but is there a simple way?
I have an application that updates a great number of fields on a pretty short interval timer. (on a standard form)Question is as follows... which one of these statements will work better for this? (working better = faster/smoother)Dim textToUpdate as string
if textbox1.text <> textToUpdate then textbox1.text = textToUpdate
What is the proper way of working with percentages and DataGridView and dividing by zero..In my code I am attempting to divide two numbers, sometimes one of the numbers is zero..Then I need to add a column to my datagrid, I think i need it to be decimal? So i can sort it later. I had it as a string and everything worked fine excpet i couldnt sort properly.[code]If I change column to Double it handles it fine, then i am not sure how to read the value as a percentage?
I am trying to get AxisX interval for MS Chart Control in code behind. But when i try to retrieve the value, it returns zero even though it has a default value.
'Doesn't return the correct value, only returns 0 Dim XInterval As Double = mainChart.ChartAreas(0).AxisX.Interval
I'm using the following method to move a picture box that is in a 24, 24 panel:[code]This is obviously the worst way of doing this. But, it's the first thing I could think of and Googling has brought me no luck so far.
I have a timer in vb.net and it's interval is 1000ms ,. i have placed in it's timer_tick event a code that will print screen the screen and save it to a database.The problem is when i click outside of the form, or loosing the focus of the mouse to the form containing that timer/printscreen, the timer stops. As a result the printscreen also stops.here are it's properties:
generate member = true interval = 1000 modifiers = friend
