VS 2010 Create An Accurate Delay In VB2010?
May 19, 2012
I am currently creating a program to send keystokes to a program at certain intervals. I need the thread to delay between keystrokes, and i need to be able to have the user input the amount of delay from the GUI via textbox. I have it running perfect with Thread.Sleep(), but it just isn't consistent enough. How can I code it to be accurate to roughly 5ms up or down? thanks, and here is the code. This is in VB 2010 by the way.

I'm trying to create a small game in VB2010. The gameplay is as follows:
civilians would walk/stand in a room/street and suddenly an evil character would pop from the ground/wall. This evil character would suddenly vanishes too. So, the player has to shoot it to kill the character. The evil character, civilians, etc. would be random. Also, there would be sound effects too. That is the popping up of the evil character, it's voice, the civilians voice, etc. I'm trying to make it as simple as possible but without degrading the quality of the game play. I think, I could somewhat create the graphics for the characters, scenes, etc. and can get the sound effects recorded.
So, the difficult part is,[ ] how could I make it a smoother for playing the game ?
[ ] what would be the best way to do animations ?
[ ] Creating a GIF and placing it in the picturebox and moving it ?
[x]how to play the music in background and at the same time play sound effects on certain instance ?

I'm using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.I'm working on a class. At various points, I want to insert a delay between executions of the code. Nothing terribly large. Around 50-200 miliseconds. It doesn't seem like much, but it makes the program run better. I'll probably randomize the length of the delay later between those two marks. So basically the code would go...SomeFunction()timer delaySomeFuntion()I have the timer declared as
Private tmrTimer As TimerAnd each place I want to use it, I simply redeclare it. Or I might add it to the constructor of the class. Either way. Just thinking adding it to the class constructor would probably be a better idea.
tmrTimer =
[Code].....
End SubUnfortunately, I get the error "Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types"Now remember, this is all contained in a class, so theoretically speaking I can simply move the class file from project to project and reuse it, without ever having to worry about how the class works. Reading through the Timer specifications, I probably need to do some cleanup on the timer after I use it. Am I correct in this?

I have used VB (versions 2 - 6) through many years; however, I am crash-course training myself into the VB2008 / VB2010 world kicking a screaming. I would like suggestions as to what SQL database access method should I focus more on in my learning process without making me feel that I'm a million years behind. I know I have WinForms where I can create a datasourse and drag / drop fields or tables on a form to create a grid (not really what I'm looking for).
My trouble isn't so much designing the form but in how I access the database. Theres XML, LINQ to SQL, ADO.NET, and many other methods. Not only do I need to grasp these methods quickly but I also need to know what type of projects I should create. What I mean is...I was thinking that I would design a WinForm app; however, I see that there are WPF apps and others to chose from. This is getting deep. I know it depends on the project that I'm working on. My plans are to write an app based off of either an SQL Express 2008 or SQL Server 2008 database. This first app will be standalone for now but may later become multi-user. I know I'm far behind on my learning curve coming from VB6. I have read a bit on VB2005 / 2008 / 2010. I own
both VB2008 and VB2010. I use VB2008 at work. I know ADO.NET is still alive but by what I read online, it's a dying method and is only kept for backward compatibility. XML and LINQ to SQL and other methods are all pretty new to me.

I have a Nag Screen that I am creating, and I am wanting to create a delay before the OK button is enabled allowing the user to proceed.
Is it better to use a Timer event or would a 'For I = 1 to 20000"
loop be the better option.
All this timer would do is Enable the OK button, thats all.

I know that time delays have been covered before around almost everywhere. however a method that forgoes forcing the GUI to become temporarily non-responsive, is all but a myth, or at least to my findings. i have the need for a GUI program to delay before the next command, however using the current method, detailed following, it causes the desired effect however it dose make it much less polished as when you click anything else on the GUI it goes un-responsive for the directed time. [Code] make a sub called say Tdelay( milseconds as integer) and have it run a loop as many times as the milseconds variable indicates and each time making the thread delay for 1 milsecond and then update the GUI/form in some way, then re-loop.

In my program I have a tab control with 4 tab pages. In the second tab page there is a lot of controls (about 50! includes buttons, labels, combo boxes, textboxes, option boxes). When user opens the program and want to navigate to tabpage 2 there is about 2-3 second delay showing tabpage. This problem only occur the first time, after that it just shows the page fine. I am not sure what is causing this lag but the program seems buggy and slow to user.

Is there a way to delay the start of a text file? I am using this to call the TXT file after clicking a button: (opens txt file)
Process.Start("text.txt")I was wondering if there was a command to delay the TXT file from opening for a number of seconds?I use this to delay the Splash Screen: (delayed 5 seconds)
Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)Is there something similar for TXT files??

to some server via an UdpClient. However, I need to make sure that all commands send are separated by a 1 second delay. If there is no delay, two commands send within this 1 second timespan will not be received both; only the first or the second command will get through.he commands are sent in a background thread at the moment, because it might take some time before the command is sent. I keep looping until the command has been sent, like this:
vb.net
Public Sub Send(command As String)
Dim bytes = Me.GetCommandBytes(command)

I am currently in the process of writing a demonstrative program that will generate a string of 9 random numbers in a textbox. Now my basic knowledge of VB 2010 allows me to do this but my goal is to delay the generation of this number sequence until the my progress bar has progressed to the end. How can I insert a delay after my button activates my progress bar/timer without stopping all function and usability of the program all together. The basic wait function seems to lock everything up for the allotted time and then the number instantly generates and the progress bar begins.

I have another problem with my bot.

After the 7th line I need a pause until a submit button pops up on the screen. The submit button is hidden until the getelementbyid.focus is run. I cant use webbrowser_documentcompleted because the submit only unhides itself, and I cant use Sleep() because that just stalls the whole block.

I have a few small apps developed with VB2005 and Crystal Reports(that comes with VB2005) and installed at my clients. If I convert them to VB2010 and set the app to work with .Net Framework 2.0 like my VB2005 apps did, will I have to do any installation process at the clients or can I just copy to new VB2010 app to clients machine?
I ask this because when they want minor changes, I usually just install the updated exe over the internet.
