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?

This timer code is for VB6 and worked fine, It's to change the timer seconds into minutes, I'm not sure how to make this work for 2008 though.
Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Timer1.Interval = 1000 ' set timer to 1 sec intervals.
Timer1.Enabled = False ' timer is off
End Sub

the errors are...
Error1Name 'StartTime' is not declared.
Error2Name 'MinutesToWait' is not declared.
Error3Name 'StartTime' is not declared.
am really getting to know more about programming each day. really interesting.
i have a form with some labels.. i need each label to display a text after certain time of the time count. i have this piece i put together.. didnt work but i guess it need a little professional touch.

Problem (1) Basically I got a Sub handling a button click, in the Sub I start my timer. In the timer_tick, a value is assigned to a variable and then the timer stops. This variable at the given time should be used later on the sub, however whats currently happening is that the the timer is starting; but I figured the sub must continue going as the variable dosn't change till the sub ends and then the timer begins to do all its ticks so to say.So basically how would one go about making it so that once I start my timer,for the sub to stay where it is, do everything till the timer stops and then continues.
Problem (2) This is in regards to the timer being broken, basically i'll show my code below. Whats happening is that at "ElseIf county = publicx Then" the timer must be stopping right before, as it's not doing the if statement and in my form nothing is changing and its locked as the timer hasn't finished. In my timer the form should unlock before finishing, so I know for sure its not finishing. So whats going on with my timer, why is it freezing on me? Also, for the record @ count=publicx both values are 1 and the countertime=0; so the variables are correct.
Private Sub Timer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer.Tick
Dim CwStich As Boolean = False
Dim pbName As String = ("PB" & county & publicy)[code]......
CODE:
I get like bunch of msgbox and when i break point the timer dosn't go to the end it just reach to the msgbx and then repeat again from the beginning , i dont know why, i removed the timer and made new one but still the same problem.
I 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.
View 2 RepliesOut of curiosity, is there a way i can make a program stop or pause for a period of time (which i would choose) before continuing the code WITHOUT a timer.I think I've seen this done before, but I'm not positive.Also note that I'm talking about a forms application (not a console app if that would be any different.)
View 3 RepliesI have a this program I have to write but I have no clue where to even start.New Years Ball Drop?Design a program that replicates the Times Square New Year�s Eve ball drop. You can use a picture from the Internet of the ball you wish to use.Functionality Requirements:
-The ball will take exactly 30 seconds to move down the pole
-Need a timer to count down from 30 and reach 0 when the ball is at the end of the pole
-The timer will randomly change colour every few seconds
- When the ball has finished descending, the text �Happy New Year!� will display on the screen
-Need a button on the form that, when clicked, stops the ball drop and timer (so screenshots can be taken). When the button is clicked again, the timer and ball drop should resume from where it left off.
I'm wondering what exactly is the difference System.Timers.Timer and System.Windows.Forms.Timer???

I some code that looks to see if a certain program is running when the form is open. If the program is open it puts Running in a label, if it isn't running it says not running.What I want to do is repeat this process every 5 or 10 seconds. I have never used a Timer before so not sure where to start.

View 2 RepliesI have already a Pretest loop that counts the number that the user inputs and displays a message. I need to change the Pretest loop code so it will count down instead of up from the number of times entered by the user.I have already coded this:

I'm currently writing a countdown timer on vb 2005, with the following characteristics: When I press a button and the timer is running, it adds time to the counter, for example, if the time is 2:30 and I press a button, and the period to add is 1:10, the new time would be 4:40. The window is always on top of every other window, and is active even though it doesn't have focus. When the time's up and i press a key, in this case Esc, the application closes, otherwise, it just continues. [Code]

View 1 Repliesin my program it has a log in system already done by myself and once logged in you can do whatever i have coded in if you understand my meaning . what i want to add to it is a timer that can be edited that runs as a standby timer like with what a screen saver does and logs out after inactivity for a specified time now i have no idea where to stat with this so if some one could put me in the right direction or an example would be great.so i need it to start a timer once the mouse is not moving and no keyboard keys are being pressed and terminate the timer once keyboard keys are being pressed or mouse is being moved it's for an update that i am releasing on my publishers website for my program?
