I built a game, that's a basic soccer game. You stop a trackbar, and if it's in the middle then it makes a goal, if not the you lose. I want to up the ante and build my version of brick breaker. I have a bonus timer where if you finish the level within the time frame then you get bonus. When my menustrip is visible then the game pauses. Here's what I got so far:

I want to do smth like instead of typing
vb
Timer1.Start()
I can type
vb
TimerA.Start()
where A is a random integer declared before.
I am trying to start a timer, but for some reason it doesn't. I've added a messagebox to the code and the messagebox appears so it looks like it skips the timer start code.
This is the
If DATA = "***!***STARTREMOTE" Then
MessageBox.Show("START REMOTE...") 'DEBUG
MiniLiveTimer.Enabled = False
[Code].....
I have a System.Windows.Forms.Timer named "DialogBoxTimer" set up on a form. When the form loads, it has a command to stop the timer. I have a routine [SPDataRecd(...)] that handles SerialPort1.DataReceived from a serial port (modem). When it is activated by a modem event, I want it to start the timer [DialogBoxTimer.Start()], but it doesn't work.If the timer is running, SPDataRecd can *stop* the timer [DialogBoxTimer.Stop()], but it can't start a stopped timer.

We only have few meetings for Computer subject that's why time did not permit us to discuss timer codes. Anyway, my concern (I think) is just simple (though I really do not know how to start).I plan to make a countdown timer of 60 s that will start once "Start" button is clicked and will display a message box when it reaches 0. I only know the codes for message boxes.

View 4 RepliesI created 3 timers, i want each timer to take turn start which means timer1 stop then timer2 start, once timer2 stop timer3 start. But my code seem to be running together once i click the play button.And is there any ways to easy control how my picturebox move? Because my code for controlling it movement need to keep finding the correct number for it to move.[code]

We've set code to fire certain valves on the timer but once it gets to the last valve (checkbox) I'm not sure how to reset the timer to start back at zero so that it refires the sequence.
Here's the code:
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles Timer1.Tick

Is it possible to pause and start the timer (so the current time doesn't get reset when the user clicks the button the second time)?

I have this code for a Windows service I am writing in .NET....However the TICK function never gets executed regardless of what interval I put in the tmrRun properties. What am I missing? I am sure its something stupid I am not seeing.
View 6 RepliesHow can I incorporate the timer so once a page loads the timer activates, waits a few seconds then I tell my program what to do next.I tried this code but it didnt work:

Timer1.Start()

In my Windows Form's application, I enable and start a Windows Form's Timer for a state machine which interacts with various User Controls. In one part of the state machine where an external device is being rebooted, I need to disable the User Interface (a User Control's UI) for the time it takes the device to reboot. The problem exists in that once I use System.Threading.Sleep, the timer that fires the State Machine stops and never restarts. I even re-enabled the Timer and re-started it after the Sleep command but to no avail. Is this expected operation or should a Windows Form's Timer be able to restart after a Sleep?
Snippet of code from a step in the state machine below:
Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor
MainForm.Enabled = False
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(8000)
MainForm.Enabled = True
Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default
MainForm.t1.Enabled = True
MainForm.t1.Start()
I need to load a form and for each form background color, put a square on it, my problem is i can't put the square on the orange backcolor right after the first show of form backcolor, and before the timer even start.[code]

View 4 RepliesI have created a 7 day timer in a VB form that is to be part of a larger project. It has 14 date time pickers set to hours and minutes only in 24 hour format (1 on and 1 off per day), 7 checkboxes, 7 radio buttons, 2 textboxes to display day of the week and current time and a few buttons. As a standalone project, this works well

Is it possible to start a timer on a separate thread so it doesn't block the user interface, or do I have to make a thread that I call from the timer?
View 2 RepliesHere's what I currently have:
[Code]...
I've commented out various things to limit it to specifically this command (example, I can swap mklink out with notepad and it works fine). The command runs fine from a DOS window, but can't be found when I use it this way. I also tried using the SHELL command just to test and I get the same results. No idea why it can't be found, as like I said it executes from the command prompt just fine.
Imagine that I have a System.Windows.Forms.Timer with 1000 ms interval. If I call Timer.Start() method and after 500 ms I call again Timer.Start() what happens? The second Start call will reset the interval or not? Are there any side effects?
View 3 RepliesFind monster ***Name or ID***
if ***Name or ID*** True then "right click" on ***Name Or ID***
timer.enable=true
else
find ***Name Or ID***
like i said i'am sure that this is unclear but i will give a bit more info.i would like the program to search for ***Name or ID*** in the game.exe windowif the program can find the ***Name or ID*** then it will right click and start a timer....once it don't see the ***Name or ID*** any more it will look for others.

View 4 RepliesI have made my application to start automaticly when windows start (registry ../currentversion/run/appname + path). In this mode the application start minimized and an little icon appear in the notification icon area. With this icon you can maximize the app or exit it.If you exit the app and start it again using the Menu (Start/programs etc) than the application start in minimized mode (and in this case I would like to have it in normal mode) because the setting autostart is still true.Is there a way you can detect when the application start when windows startup using the above registry or when people click on an icon in the programs menu (or desktop)?
View 2 Repliesthis is my very first posting and I must say I am desperate. I have a VB assignment due in 2 days and I am so lost. I have written a code to draw some graphic, just a basic house, tree, sun etc. I have also written a code to magnify said graphics which were all the specifications of my Assignment 1 part A. Now for Part B I am being asked to extend my program so that: A - My graphic can be drawn using different colour schemes designed by me but chosen by the user B - My graphic or an appropriate part of it can be animated around the picture box if the user chooses to do so. C - Error checking is included.
