I'm trying to add a new feature to some software I have developed but am having difficulty. Essentially I want to add a 'Pause' and a 'Resume' feature.I have a timer which counts down.
Private Sub Timer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer.Tick
Dim togo As TimeSpan = mTestEnd.Subtract(Now)
If togo.Ticks < 0 Then
Timer.Enabled = False
[code]....
When the Start command button is clicked the timer starts counting down from what amount the user inputed. I've added an elseif to pause the timer and this works ok. When I click resume the although the timer text has paused the actual timer has not and continues from where the timer would be if it had not been stopped. Much like a stopwatch lap timer. Could you help me with my Else statement.

Using Visual Basic Express Edition 2008 I have nearly finished my application for checking player numbers in the Irish Lottery main draws. However, I would now like to add a countdown label which shows the days, hours, minutes and seconds until the next draw. My problem here is that we play the Irish Lottery on a Wednesday and a Saturday. Both draws start at 8.00pm.
Ok so I want my program to keep sending a messagebox pop up at a speed that the user can pick for as long as they choose such as."How many hours" 5."How many minutes" 10..Then that will countdown every minute.[code]
Ok i got the time and date in 2 datetimepickers called TimePicker and DatePicker.I want so when you click a button it will start counting down to that date and time. I dont know where to start can anyone give me some guidance. Or example code would be great.
I have a testing program that I am working on and I have a Timed and a Non-Timed testing environment. The user can choose which environment he is practicing in.Everything works fine with those environments, I am just trying to figure out how to display a Countdown timer in the corner so that the user know how much time he has left before the question times out and advances to the next question.In the timed Environment, the user choose the amount of time between questions, the number of questions and then Click begin to start the Testing Environment. The timer I am using for the Timed environment begins on Page
vb Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick Dim a As Integer Dim b As Integer a = Label2.Text b = 1 Label2.Text = a - b If Label2.Text = "-1" Then Timer1.Stop() 'Stop timer, no more numbers PictureBox2.Visible = True Timer2.Stop() 'Stop timer, ENDED 10 SECONDS
I have an application that provides a countdown for 60 minutes and I'm currently using the win form timer and it updates some labels and a progressbar. Now I have to change this to be a countdown for 360 minutes. Will the win form timer be sufficient or should I implement a Timers.Timer instead?
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)
I am using HttpWebRequest/Response to download a file. What would i need to do on the coding side to allow resuming of interupted downloads and what would i need to know from the server if it allows me to do this?
Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form Dim ct, ctJmp, ctRgt, ctLft, wait, wait2, origTop As Integer Dim jumping, up, down, lft, rght As Boolean Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown [Code] ..... Basically what I want to do is if the player is still holding the right arrow key after the up arrow is pressed and jumping finishes, I want him to continue to run.
I am trying to find a way to resume a thread after catching the AbortThreadException and calling AbortReset.
My thread is running a loop to control two motors used in a raster scan. Once the button is pressed to begin the scan, I want to be able to click a stop scan button and have the following happen:
1. AbortThreadException is thrown and caught- a window comes up asking if you really want to abort the scan. Click yes for abort, no for suspend, or cancel to continue scanning.
2. Given users answer the program responds accordingly- If cancel, then the scan should continue right where it left off and not restart.
My problem occurs in my understanding of the thread events. I am not sure how to tell a thread to wait for a button event nor do i know how to tell a thread to continue where it left off. I also noticed that the 'suspend' and 'resume' methods have been deemed obsolete and i am not sure of the alternative way of doing those actions.
The following is the code used to catch the exception and execute the task.
I'm trying to play a MIDI file in my VB.NET (VB 2010 Express) and things work well with the code from this other question here on Stack Overflow, which I translated from C to VB.However, I also need to PAUSE, while that code is only for open and stop. I edited the code like this:
I am thining of using a boolean value per each backgroundworker to flag their completion and check all of the boolean values but there should be a better way,
I am developing a Windows Service in VB2008 and am in the testing stage. What I have noticed is that if I Pause it while it is busy doing something and then resume it, the process generates an error. While I am debugging this I wanted to determine exactly what the difference is between Pausing/Resuming and Stopping/Starting a service.I searched, but most results simply told me how to Stop/Start/Pause and Resume a service, a hurdle that I jumped over many years ago. Does any one know of any resources that go into detail what happens when a service is stopped vs when it is paused?From some experimentation, it seems that if I do not place any code in the OnPause and OnContinue events the Pause/Resume commands have no effect.
I just had a new, last-minute idea on to take on a task, so I am running to StackExchange for quick help.
What I want to do is execute a series of methods right in a row, each in their own threads. I want the application to wait until all of these threads are completed, after which the program will resume. It also has to use managed threading (thread pool).
What quick examples could you provide to help me along the way? If it's too complex, what things should I know about so that I can Google it on my own?
I am letting the user wait x amount of time before he can start it again. [Code] I am wondering what would be the best way to protect this? The user can obviously end the process and restart the application.
How can I add a timer in the listview that minuses 1 second at a time when the button starts click and stops when the stop button is clicked? Then save the remaining time in the database.I prof. says that he want to view in the list box is like this 10:00 to 9:59 to 9:58 etc. there is a default 10:00 in the listview.
I'm using Visual Basic 2010 and I'm trying to make a countdown timer and after I close the program the time which is counted to be saved. For example if I make a countdown timer to count 24 hours and I close the program at like 23:58:48 and then I start it again I want to continue the coutdown at the time it stops or to continue during the close time.Here is the code that i use:
Code: Private alarmTime As Date Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Me.alarmTime = Date.Now.AddMinutes(1440)
[code]....
So with this code i can save the label text but when i try to make it run from it after the close it turns to somekind of a code and it countdown 50 min and the difference in the input time change it very slightly.
Dim r As New Random() Timer1.Interval = r.Next(60000, 300000) Timer1.Enabled = True 'Display countdown in 'Label2'
Also, I have a long mess of code (follow my signature) that compiles a sentence and displays it in a label. It works fine until I add the loop around the whole thing. Then it does nothing at all.~~the code is not finished. I have a lot of filters to put in place.
One more thing... After clicking "Add Me" button which saves a new player's profile, I want it to clear/reset all the fields so the next player has a clean slate to work with. Is there a way to do that?
