View 5 Repliesi am working on an alarm system software, i am required to blink buttons whenever an alert SMS is received by my gsm modem, after checking for its authentication with the database. The buttons represents the individual units of houses that are armed with a hardware whereby whenever an alarm is triggered, the hardware sends a alert SMS which is received by my gsm modem. The unit under alert represented by the button will start blinking to show that its under alert, when clicked, it will stop blinking to show that the alert is acknowledged. But now i am facing a situation whereby when the second alert comes in, the first alert will be overwritten by it, which is not what i wanted, i want it to be like both buttons will be blinking, not overwritten. The buttons are all created when the program is running, with its text referred to the database. I have placed a timer to do all the blinking. The timer will start after the checking for authentication.

How do I show timer countdown to a text label in form? I have the following code set up:
[Code]...
What I'm trying to do is when I click button 1, timer start countdown from 15 sec. I want to be able to show this timer in sec and millisec in form in a text label so the user can see how much time they have left. (example: 12.56 sec remaining)
Is there a way in the RichTextBox to change the Blinking cursor to a blinking _ like is dos or hide it all together? Or is there another object that I can use to simulate a dos prompt without it actually being a dos prompt where I can write text to it via code?

View 2 RepliesMy timer pauses (sort of the display portion (label) of the timer indeed pauses, however when the timer is resumed it starts again, but not at the point where it was disabled. As an example. If I pause the timer at 10:00 and wait ten seconds when I hit resume it starts at 09:50, where it should resume at 10:00 or 09:59

Public SessionTime As String

I am having a mental block on how to work out a 15 minute timer that is shown on a label and counts down so that the user can watch it. I can do it just fine in seconds but I need to put it into the format of 15:00 and then have it count down the seconds and the the minutes when ever it drops 60 seconds. I found a few articles on using the dateNow syntax but that seems like it would only be good for adding time not subtracting it. Also I know I can set up a button to start and stop the timer but is it possible to use the space bar as the start/stop button?

View 20 Repliesi have a MDI application with parent and childforms.
i have a global timer in a module that makes a com search and writes the result to a parentform status strip label.
the problem is that the label do not change.
i have tried the following:
1) on timer.elapsed
parentForm.statusstriplabel.text =...
2) to create a delegate and invoke a parent form function
3) to create and raise an event
although all 3 seened to run the label didn't changed.
the timer was created in a different module than the parentform class for many reasons.
one of them is because i want to access the timer.start , timer.stop from all the childforms
when i tried a local timer to paretform worked perfect but i couidnt start and stop it from the childs
how to set a Label's text to say how many times the timer is cycling after it is triggered. For example,

message.To.Add(TextBox1.Text & TextBox2.Text)
[Code]....
I want a Label to tell me how many times this timer sends ONE email, each time, the labels value increases by +1.
I have a timer that basically counts a number up in sequence in a label. On the On Text Change sub for the label I have functions run when the label is at a specific number. Everything works fine, the only problem I have is I have information pulled from an ODBC link to a pervasive database every second, which slows down the program. I have several flash components that run so slowly because of the data update. Now I have tried both using a dataset and coding the query but it is still ver slow and processor intensive, I think its because the Pervasive ODBC link is somewhat slow. Is there a way to have my data pull timer run in the background so that it doesnt effect the performance of the rest of the program?

In a piece of code I am writing I am trying to change the text of a label in my form based on a timer. I have MANY other labels that are all updating in their own subs and when I try to add any new labels(in any sub) to update it wont. I am using Label.Text = counter where counter is a string that is changing. I have tried refreshing the form, Label.refresh() Label1.Update()....The only thing I think it could be is that the redraw is being held up by other calculations on the cpu. How can I make the label text change and update properly?

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to use the timer (not a Timer object) in a Do... Until loop. I want the loop to put a single variable into a label. When I do this it works and puts the value into the label (lblOxygenReading):
If btnGetOxygen.Text = "Get Oxygen Reading" Then
Select Case True
Case rdoColorWhite.Checked
strCurrentColor = "White"
Case rdoColorRed.Checked
[Code] .....
It goes through the Do loop and the For.. next loop but doesn't change the label. Visual Studio doesn't show any errors when I'm writing the code, but when I run it, it hangs somewhere.
is there a way to show the current time left of the timer interval( in a label or something?)something like a count down for the next interval?
