VS 2008 - Use The Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000) Code The Form Becomes Unresponsive

Jul 20, 2010

The coding that I have a problem with might make people think that I am creating some malware. So the project I am doing is associated with iTunes. iTunes allows people to have one library. There is another way, but it is very confusing to some people, and very unreliable. So my project is that I will allow people to have multiple iTunes libraries on one computer. So the problem is this. In order to have an option to choose your library, I gotta make sure that iTunes is not running.

So this is the script:

Private Sub CheckAndCloseiTunes()
retry:
'Custom class that includes the function to safely close iTunes
Dim Processes As Process() = Process.GetProcessesByName("iTunes")

[CODE]...

So when I use the Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000) code, the form becomes unresponsive.

Use "System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(15)" As The Delay Code But Freeze The Form

Jul 19, 2011

I've been trying to use "System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(15)" as the delay code but if freeze the form. I used this "Location.Refresh()" where location is the name of the form, but it didn't give me what I need. This code is going to work on a ProgressBar while typing and the value of the progress bar change while typing. The progress bar jumps to the new value and I want it to move. So I thought about puting it in a "For ... Loop" but the whole form freezes.

VS 2010 - Using System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) To Let My App Pause/sleep For Some Time

May 25, 2010

Currently I'm using System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) to let my app pause/sleep for some time. This works great but I can't open my app anymore when it's sleeping and it uses about 25% of my CPU. I guess there must be a better way to do this. I also tried using a timer but that didn't work out to well for me..

VS 2008 [Multi-threading] How To Run This Code In A Separate Thread

Apr 21, 2009

I am creating an IDE for a game script with similar functionality as the Visual Studio IDE (at least, some of it). The game script consist of code that looks visually a bit like C code. It uses braces to define the start and end of a 'class' and uses nested braces to define the start and end of an 'event' in a class.

What I want finally is to have two Comboboxes above the text editor, one that lists each Class and the other listing each Event. The comboboxes should also show the Class and Event that the caret is currently in, just like in Visual Studio.I have attached an example of such a script (you can open it with Notepad).However, here is a short example where you can also see how I "defined" classes and events:

class1
{
event1
{

[code]....

As you can see, the classes are the 'names' of each block of code, defined by matching braces { }. The events are the names of each nested block of code, also defined by matching braces { } but inside a class. There is only one level of nesting.As you can also see, the layout can follow the standard C-style layout, or a slightly different layout (using the opening brace on the same line as the class/event name), or even a completely chaotic mess. As long as the braces match correctly, the code is valid.So in short, the large blocks are classes, while the nested blocks are events.

What I want to do, is parse an entire script, and store all the Classes (and eventually, also all the Events, but let's forget about them for now). I want to store the Class name, start position (defined as the start index of the name), end position (defined as the index of the closing brace) and the full text (defined as the text between start and end position, so including the name).

vb.net
Public Class clsClass
Private _Name As String

[code]....

The code works basically by finding every first opening brace (the opening brace of each CLASS, not event), and then loops through the class (using a brace counter to keep track of the nested braces) until it found the last closing brace. It then stores the name, start, end and fulltext in a new clsClass and adds it to the list to return.

When Used Threading Application Became Unresponsive

Jul 18, 2012

i have a vb.net application that plots 16 plots immediately, the plots data are realtime. the 16 plots must draw the points at the time they receive them (must be no delay), to do that

1- i made a timer with ticks at 50 ms.

2- at each timer tick call the plotting function 16 times (with a graph name as parameter)like that: [code] it made a big delay, when i used threading the application became unresponsive.

VS 2008 Terminate A Threading.thread Using Thread.abort?

Jun 10, 2010

im trying to terminate a threading.thread using thread.abort the thread runs a download connection so is usually in the middle of socket.recieve or socket.send or socket.connect when aborting i just want to terminate the thread no matter what thread.abort raises an MDA excpetion. so i ticked it off in the debug exceptions menu. now it doesnt raise an exception, but the thread simply wont terminate. my program wont close unless i press top in the debugger.i cant pause downloads because i cant terminate the thread this code wasn't working?

Dim vT As Threading.Thread
For Each vT In clsDownloader.DownloadThreads
If Not vT Is Nothing Then
vT.Abort()

[code].....

as for the exception concerning threads being aborted from other threads being dangerous, how is it possible to send a message from a main thread to another thread to abort itself? as far as i know the only way to a abort one thread from another is to just kill it (because i dont know of ways for a thread to communicate with another).

Forms :: Threading And Modules And Sleep

Mar 31, 2011

I have a frm_Main, which starts a thread. The thread then goes and calls a module, which has a thread.sleep() in it. This causes the mouse to freeze up while it sleeps, despite being called by the child thread. I thought this would have be on the thread time-slice? However it is causing my form to freeze for the sleep duration.

Inconsistant Thread Sleep Timer?

Apr 5, 2011

Ok so I have been playing with VB.net and brainstorming ways to accomplish launching a thread reliably every 60 seconds reguardless of how long the prior thread took to do it's work. Here is my question. Given the following code:

[Code]...

My assumption for this output would be that the time between each line would have to be exactly 5000 milliseconds plus the time it takes to execute the rest of the loop which could vary given that there could be an unknown delay due to disk IO. My problem is that looking at lines 10 and 11 and subtracting gives me a difference of 4,958 milliseconds. So my question is what the heck is going on there? How is it possible to get a difference of less than 5000 milliseconds when I have told the thread to sleep for 5000 milliseconds before completing the process. What am I missing?

i have a web browser control, that refreshes pages on a loop after calling a few subs, i need to create a delay in the loop so that the page has a chance to refresh and redisplay before it loops again. i tried the code below, but it seemed to freeze the entire form, elements including, so the web browser didnt refresh before the loop, so how could i create a non form-freezing delay for a loop?

Using The Stopwatch To Record The Length Of A Thread.sleep Event?

I have a control thread that starts up a secondary thread and when the secondary thread finishes, the control thread restarts the secondary thread. On this secondary thread, I use a stopwatch to record a thread.sleep event. Is there any reason, under any circumstance, why the stopwatch elapsed millisecond value (499) would be 1ms less than the sleep time (500 ms)This doesn't happen all the time or even a lot, I'm just curious if there is any physical reason for this to happen.

Program Becoming Unresponsive Whilst Running Long Code

Jan 31, 2011

I'm currently trying to write a football simulator but am having issues with the computer becoming unresponsive. There are long lines of code (several thousand lines) that are executed over and over as one run of the code is equivalent to one second of game time. While the game is setup to be like Football Manager where you watch the game live, there will also be cases where the entire game is simulated without you watching. When doing a full sim of a game, I just have a loop which executes the code block 7200 times (games go for two hour roughly).

At the moment this takes about a minute but even when I get it down to the desired 5-10 seconds or so, I dislike the fact that the computer becomes completely unresponsive during this time. In a round there are 9 games and you'll be simulating without watching 8 of them. You're looking at 1-2 minutes of simulation time or possibly more. I can't have a loading screen that long! How can I program the game so it runs these simulations yet the game still remains responsive? It'd be fine if the user could muck around in the menus and stuff while the simulation runs.
