Close Form After 10 Seconds?
Dec 22, 2010I have a windows form application that will open other forms, but will only display the forms for a few seconds (user configurable). I would normally do something like threading.thread.sleep(n), however when doing this the forms controls do not load only the white background shows, and I have also been reading that this isnt the best practice for what I am after as user input will not be actioned until the thread wakes up.
I have come across people using System.Timers.Timer(n), but I am struggling to get this to work for me, the form will only open and close straight away (you can only see a flash as the form opens then closes).
The code that I am using is:
Private Shared tmr As New System.Timers.Timer
aForm.Show()
tmr = New System.Timers.Timer(aSleep * 60 * 60)
[Code].....
This is all contained within a Private sub that passes the form and the defined run time.
My intention is to have the main application running from the task bar, which then calls one of the forms that will display for a defined period of time, close the form, then call another one of the forms.
Is any able to point me in the right direction for why the form opens then closes without seeing through the defined run time (I have been testing with 10 seconds), or is there a better way of doing what I am seeking?

View 16 RepliesForce Balloontip To Close After A Few Seconds?
Nov 19, 2010I'd like to show a NotifyIcon BalloonTip to the user and close it after two seconds.No matter what value I enter there it never closes, unless I keep moving the mouse and then it always closes after exactly 10 seconds. After doing a Google search I found this page.Here are two quotes from that page.
Quote:
The BallonTip timeout is only respected if the shell detects the "user presence" (i.e. mouse moves or keyboard input). If none of these happen (because you are watching the bubble) it will sit there indefinately. The logic behind this design being that users should not miss notifications when they are away from their machines. This is the "By Design" shell behavior.
Minimum and maximum timeout values are enforced by the operating system and are typically 10 and 30 seconds, respectively, however this can vary depending on the operating system. If you declare timeout value as less than minimum, the real timeout will be minimum; while the value more than maximum will be changed into maximum value. So timeout values that are too large or too small are adjusted to the appropriate minimum or maximum value.is there any way to force it to close after two seconds? My BalloonTips are shown based on the action of the user and not during some background process, so 10 seconds is way too long.

VS 2010 - Msg Box With Auto Reply In N Seconds
Aug 8, 2010I've an old vb6 ocx in order to show an msgbox with autoreply in n seconds.
rm = waitMsg("can't connect to host...",9,"*Retry","Cancel")
if rm = 2 then exit sub 'cancel
acts in same way of msgbox, but after 9 seconds (in the example) then auto click the Retry button (the default button, the one with * prefix). maybe I could convert this old ocx to net, but wondering if there is not an better alternative using messagebox.

VS 2010 TCPClient - Program Locks Up For A Few Seconds?
Dec 21, 2011I am making a program to test whether or not a host is online, assuming that host has blocked methods such as ping and netstat -t etc....
So I decided to try and connect to it, but the thing is every limitation I have set doesn't work. The program locks up for a few seconds (which I don't want in the first place) and I cannot terminate the client after say, 100ms of trying to connect.
[code]...
I have tried client.ReceiveTimeout but that didn't speed up the process, still takes the same amount of time for the program to respond.How should I go about testing if the server is up now? Or is there a way where the program wont lock for a few seconds as it does with the TCP method.

This works great, but I would like to make it so that I can tell it to play the sound file starting at, for example, 3 seconds and ending at 9 seconds in. For instance, I could have 2 Numeric Up Down boxes on my form and whatever NuD1.value = is the lower range and NuD2.value = higher range.

RTF Close - Add A Close Button To Menu Strip That Will Just Close The Currently Opened File
Jan 16, 2009I'm currently in the process of building a text editor type program, and have run into a brick wall. I haven't done VB in years, so I may just need a little reminder on some things. I have coded everything so far as far as opening files, saving them, changing fonts, colors, etc. However, I'm looking to add a Close button to my menu strip that will just close the currently opened file, and not the entire program, while also ask the user if he/she would like to save before closing the file, and then if they select yes, it will show the save dialog, and if not, it will go ahead and close the currently opened item.

VS 2010 Check For File And Close If Not There?
Jul 7, 2010Its been requested that my project has a way to limit number of users logged in at one time. I have that figured out but there is a problem. What I have done is that when a user logins in the application creates a .usr file in a directory on the network. If the number of users (value in the database) is less than the number of .usr files another user can log in, otherwise they can not(the file gets deleted at logout or application close). Now the problem is I need to create a way that if the .usr file get deleted the application will close. Is there a way to keep a watch on file and if it gets removed close the application.

View 5 RepliesVS 2010 Detecting Lid Close Change
Dec 7, 2011I've been attempting to determine if a notebook's lid has been closed when the power setting is set to "Do Nothing."I was able to get this to work by trapping the WM_POWERBROADCAST message, but it would only work when the computer when to sleep. I've tested this on many different notebooks and the results vary. Even when changing the power settings correctly, the results were fairly inconsistent.So I posted this question in General Developer and penegate offered a possible solution.[code] I'm thinking that maybe the message I'm trapping isn't correct, but I'm not 100% sure. When I Google that message, nothing comes up. Two links appear. The one on VBF and some German site. Nothing's on MSDN.
