View 5 RepliesPausing A Process In Midstream Using Timer?
Sep 23, 2011I have a VB Windows App created using VS2K10. It produces pdf files from SQL data. The SQL data is refreshed every 10 minutes pulling from a DB2 (ERP) system via a Linked Server by a SQL DTS package being run by SQL Job Agent (SQL 2005). Because of OLEDB and security issues, the data download can only be performed by a specific Windows 2003 server. (It takes from 2-3.5 minutes to download the necessary data.)
Now, if the process of creating and printing the PDF files takes longer than 6 minutes then it's still running while the next data download is starting, the result of which is that several PDF files are created blank or absent any data. I tried to execute the DTS package on demand instead of on a timer, but cannot get past the OLEDB quirks related to our iSeries (IBM server) DB2 database system. The only answer seems to be to have the client application pause at a specific time interval and resume after @ 4 minutes, but I haven't a clue as to how to do that. Before you ask, using ODBC to pull specific data from the DB2 system directly into the client is too slow to be a viable option.
Timer - .net Console App Pausing And Staying Open?
Mar 20, 2012i am trying to understand how to keep my console app open even after it gathers data and sends it off. I am converting a GUI to the console app. It has a timer that fires the sub every 20 seconds. But it doesnt seem like it works in the console app since after it fires off the sub it closes the app without waiting.

View 1 RepliesResize Form Using A Timer Or A For Loop
Feb 12, 2010I have been battling with resizing a form in code, using either a timer or a for loop. When I say resizing, what I want to do is create the effect of a rolldown/rollup window. On my form, I have a groupbox with search criteria options, and underneath the groupbox, I have a datagridview with several buttons.
The effect I'm trying to create can be seen in Windows XP Security Centre; when you open up the security centre screen, you have your firewall, automatic updates and virus protection areas; to the right of each, there is a small round button, with either an up or down arrow, depending on whether the section is rolled up or down. When you click the button, the section rolls down or up smoothly.

Setup Timer To Slow Down For/Next Loop?
Jun 20, 2009I have a For/Next Loop that adds values to column in a DataGridView. I want to set up a timer to slow the For/NExt Loop down. So the DGV will load and then the user will click button on the form and the DGV will have numbers added into all the rows of a specific column. For simplicity, assume I want to load the numbers 1-100 into each cell and I want to see each number as its passed.
I am not sure how t set up the time to work with the For/Next Loop in the Button1_Click event. Do I have to use a Timer1_Tick event as well and somehow associate it with Button1_Click event?

Essentially what I want to do is say: after timer reaches st*2 (18 seconds) then restart the timer at zero. Is there any way to do this?

VS 2010 Pausing Execution In VB?
Oct 21, 2010okay this may be a simple answer so I apologize if it is. What I'm trying to do is when button1 is clicked for a text box to display text. Then when that same button is clicked again, that text box will display different text. Then so fourth for about another 4 times. Now I know putting this all together will create one big execution, which I don't want. I just want the application to wait until the button is clicked again to display different text.
View 8 RepliesPausing An Application Until A Sub Routine Is Reached?
Apr 16, 2010I have a problem with my application "getting ahead of itself" what the problem stems from is i am manipulating a file and then using the manipulated file further along in the program, the trouble is the program is getting to the second step before the file manipulation is complete so i receive a file not found exception. The program that is doing the manipulation has an OnEnd sub routine and i have been looking at event handlers to try and figure out how i can hold up the application until the On End routine is fired. But i have been trying this to no avail, is there an example i can have that waits for an event to be fired?

Pausing An Application Until A File With A Certain Extension Has Been Created?
Oct 21, 2009I would like some information on pausing my application until a file with a certain extension has been created. What hapens is, my application creates an input file that is sent to an external app that returns a file with a different file extension. In my application i then extract data from this new file.I was thinking i could use a timer to "hold up" my app, but then i started reading about event handlers and catchers. What i have tried is using an If FileExists loop but i get a file not found exception. How should i use the file create event? By looking in the folder and "waiting" for the file to be created?
View 6 RepliesStop Pausing When I Scroll Or Move Windows?

Being sort of like a game, it's dependent on timing, but it also has a large area (have to scroll the window on pretty much any resolution).The problem I'm having is that whenever I scroll the window (or move any of the smaller, additional windows) the program pauses what it's doing, and doesn't start again until I stop scrolling (or moving windows, or whatever).So is there any way to stop it pausing when you scroll or move windows?
