View 6 RepliesQuick question - if I have a timer set to 5000 (5 seconds) and the code in the timer takes longer than 5 seconds to run because of sql stuff, will the timer wait until the code is done till it fires again?
View 3 RepliesI want to make my form freeze for 5 seconds before it resumes to the next form.So I have a form that says : Establishing a connection....
But I don't want it to make a connection, i just want the user to think that it's making a connection.
And I then want it, when the timer reaches zero, that it would resume to the next form.
I just need the code of the timer behavior.
How can I get my application to load the Sub Main at the start rather than loading a form on start up.
I have tried declaring 'Public Sub Main' on my forms and in some modules, yet in my project properties, it is not one of the options.
What I need to do to make this code work for hours as well?[code]...

View 19 RepliesI have created a splash screen and would like it to display for 5 seconds and then display the MainMenu form. The book I am following suggested using
Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)
but it just makes the splash screen APPEAR after 5 seconds of nothing.
In my Windows Form's application, I enable and start a Windows Form's Timer for a state machine which interacts with various User Controls. In one part of the state machine where an external device is being rebooted, I need to disable the User Interface (a User Control's UI) for the time it takes the device to reboot. The problem exists in that once I use System.Threading.Sleep, the timer that fires the State Machine stops and never restarts. I even re-enabled the Timer and re-started it after the Sleep command but to no avail. Is this expected operation or should a Windows Form's Timer be able to restart after a Sleep?
Snippet of code from a step in the state machine below:
Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor
MainForm.Enabled = False
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(8000)
MainForm.Enabled = True
Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default
MainForm.t1.Enabled = True
MainForm.t1.Start()
I need to load a form and for each form background color, put a square on it, my problem is i can't put the square on the orange backcolor right after the first show of form backcolor, and before the timer even start.[code]

I have successfully set up a timer in visual basic, see the code below. My timer uses case statements and at specific case/time it calls a function, 'ShuttleA'. 'ShuttleA' function, is a function that 'getskeystate', which inturn from the user interface tallies a response in a text box. My problem is that the program runs fine when calling the function at eg; at 10 seconds, case 10. But I want to be able to call the function e.g., at 8 seconds to 11 seconds. Or create a tolerance of e.g., 1 second either side of e.g., 10.

View 2 RepliesFor a school project I need to make a timer with a bell sound that sounds every 60 seconds in VB, I cannot work out how to make the bell sound on the 60th second, I am not getting any errors in the VB console, so I assume that I am just using the wrong code or it is in the wrong place.
Public Class OSCETimerControl
Dim t As Integer
Dim s As Integer
Dim a As Integer
[CODE]..........
There are actually 3 text boxes (not yet coded the final one) one for minutes, one for seconds and the final one is for the bell sound which will not be visible.
I'm having a little problem on how to make a timer which include minutes and seconds. The design of the form goes like this:

I have been asked by a friend to make a basic timer that counts down from 3 mins and 1 mins intervals but at the end of it i have a Critical message box pop up with the sound to alert him that the time is up.i have set it so that once ok on the msg box is pressed the timer restarts..I am Just wondering if there is a way to just make sound for x seconds then the timer restarts without any button pressing?[code]
View 2 RepliesI am trying to make a program in visual basic 2010 where the user enters hours minutes and seconds into text boxes and then the program will count down from that until its equal to 0 when a msgbox appears and says its finished. I was converting hour entered, minutes entered, and seconds entered all into seconds and then having a timer subtract 1 from that until its equal to 0. But the problem I'm having is that I want to display the hours, minutes and seconds left in a label to the user in a format of: "hours: 0 minutes: 23 seconds :42" but how to display it in this format.
View 2 RepliesI have three sets of labels, lbl_seconds, lbl_minutes and lbl_hours. These labels have the default value of 00:00 and I want the timer to change that for each label. I have googled this but I cannot seem to find any good info on it. Do I need three separate timers? I have also noticed that the timers have their own tick event handler. I guess it's in this that I need to change the value of the label. But I cannot figure out how to do just that.

We only have few meetings for Computer subject that's why time did not permit us to discuss timer codes. Anyway, my concern (I think) is just simple (though I really do not know how to start).I plan to make a countdown timer of 60 s that will start once "Start" button is clicked and will display a message box when it reaches 0. I only know the codes for message boxes.
