I am writing an application that has 10 form. I would like to be able to use a timer control to display one form for 2 seconds and then display another form until the 10 forms are all displayed then loop again. I have been trying to get this to work but I failed.
View 6 RepliesI 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
VB6 create object of timer instead of timer control
View 5 RepliesIn a vb 2010 project, I have 2 win forms: Form1 and Form2.
In the Form1 class there is a server-based timer: when the "elapsed event" fires, then I update the text of a Label1 on the Form2. A very simple code:

View 1 Repliesdo wpf forms have a timer control?
View 1 RepliesI have a timer that I've established that I have set to run at a 20ms interval.Within that timer code, I have some code that is performing a visual display, moving a graphic incrementally.This all works great on a nice fast machine, when I can be sure that the "work" is actually being completed before it's "called" again by the timer.It does not behave well on a slower machine, when I suspect that the timer is being called again before the work is being done from the previous call(s).
I've tried establishing a global boolean variable called "Timer1Active". I set this variable when I enter the code to TRUE, and to FALSE as I exit the procedure. I also check, using an IF statement if it is true at the beginning of the procedure, skipping all of the procedure if it's not yet been set back to false.This approach seems to stop the visual portion from happening altogether. I think, anyway. That or it's now way faster and I can't see it at all (but I doubt it).
Can u explain that how the timer control works..

1. I connect to my dataset and to my first record
2. I create a loop for the recordset
3. I create various objects on a form and name them using the info in the dataset
I also need to create timers and name them using the first field of my dataset. It needs to be dynamic as its database driven. There could be as many as 100 timers at any one point.

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

how to use the timer to control the blinking? Cuz i tried to stop one timer, it did stop this timer but if i didnt stop the timer 1, both timer 1 and timer 2 will begin although the data is in different entity. By right if the alarm comes in from block 2, only block 2 button will blink, like wise if the alarm comes in from block 1, only block 1 button will blink
the below is my code:
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.data

I have added a timer control to a VB.NET windows form to have a message flash on and off between ticks. When I load the form I have the timer disabled. When i click on a command button, I set Timer1.Enabled to True so that the timer can begin flashing the message. The timer does not flash the message. I added a MsgBox function after where I turn on the timer. When the message box is displayed and I click OK, then the timer starts flashing the message. I turn the timer off later and that seems to work fine. I have tried the Timer1.Start() method but that does not work. Any thoughts on why the message box allows it to run but the form does not?
View 8 Replieshow to tell a program to wait or pause without using a timer control.
I did a bit of Lua scripting a few years back and the function was: Wait(5) or however long you needed the program to pause.
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 RepliesI 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.
1.) I would like to cause a Timer.Tick event in code. I know you can use PerformClick to cause a Click event. Is there a way to do the same with a timer?
2.) I have several "TextBoxes" listed as being on a "Form" but they cannot be seen. I have copied and pasted these during the design phase but have renamed the copies since. Is there a way to purge the unseen TextBoxes?
Hint: If you have "Windows 7", at the desktop, press <CTRL><SHIFT> and Rotate the Wheel on the Mouse. This will re-size the Icons on the desktop. "THIS ALSO WORKS IN THE VB2010 IDE" and allows you to Zoom the code window.
