VS 2010 - Event Timer Goes Too Fast ( Not Interval )
Jun 22, 2010
my event in timer goes too fast, i need to slower it. the interval is ok, i cant use sleep because it freeze everything ( webbrowser control ) and it need to stay active not freezing. i tried application. doevents() no result same problem, is there a way to do what i need? its a program that automatically fill a webbrowser form and restart every-time. there no logout button so i need to use setmouseposition and mouse_event but timer do event too fast one after other and if i use sleep everything go wrong.

I'm working on a small game that I want to sync with the intensity of the music. I have a timer added and I want the interval to change with the intensity of the song playing. How would I go about doing this? I tried playing with Zplay and BASS.net with no luck.

So, I have two timers. 1 Timer is set with an interval of 1000 (milliseconds), therefore it goes off every 1 second. For some reason, when I set the interval on the same timer to 1, it goes off 100 times every second. Shouldn't it go off 1000 times every second? What's going on?

How can I get a timer to run one interval,one interval only, and stop? Until now I have only used timers to keep running until I say to stop. Also I need a timer that will start at the beginning of, and run until any given process is completed.Upon completion it should shut off and tell me how long the process took. Kinda like a stop watch with a Stop / Start "Trigger".

I was wondering how do I make it so that people that use my program can change the Timer Interval. So they can set the timer.

I have an animation program which allows users to import and animate images. I do this using timer events. I have a listbox which contains the image references, and a Image which displays the chosen image. Here is the
When the user clicks the "Animate" button:
vb.net
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles animate.Click
Dim cananimate As Boolean = True
[Code].....
I want to make a dialog to appear and allow the user to select a custom FPS for the animation. For instance, if they type 15, the listbox must go down 15 images in 1 second. But how do I convert FPS to a timer interval?

How would you make the Interval of a timer to be between two times.
E.g if you wanted an event to occur between every 7 and 20 seconds?

I am trying to write a simple code that will essentially change the background oclor of a form from say red to green, like every five seconds.(Actually, it will be green 4 and red 6 seconds). I set my timer interval to 1000 and enabled it. So when I write my if/then statements in the timer area, would I be using timer.interval <=4, or timer.interval <=4000 to count off four seconds?

I don't know much about vb.net so I'm hoping this is something that can be done fairly easily. We currently have a system where valves are fired by checkboxes (representing each valve) being checked at certain intervals and when the last valve is switched the timer restarts in order for the sequence to repeat itself. We would like to be able to have a textbox in the form where we can just type in the interval at which the valves (checkboxes) switch without having to change the interval manually in the code each time we want to change it. Currently in our code we just have a set interval. Here's the code:

I have dragged and droped a timer control "tmrGetMappingXML" from the Common Controls Tab in Tool Box. The issue that I am mentioning also appears for the Timer Control present in the Components Tab in tool box.
In the form Load I have written:
HTML
tmrGetMappingXML.Interval = 3600 '1 Hour = 3600 Seconds
tmrGetMappingXML.Enabled = True
tmrGetMappingXML.Start()
The timer interval is also set in the design time to 3600 seconds. But the Tick event of the timer fires continuously every second.

I have an MDI form, and all of its children have a timer control. I also have an options form where the user can change the automatic refresh interval, which is loaded from the parent. The interval is stored in My.Settings.UpdateInterval as a Double.What is the best way to update all of the timer interval of the Children? Can the Children listen for an event in the parent form (UpdateIntervalChanged)?

my function is to adjust a timer interval according to a integer variable.
Original code (works fine):
Code:
Dim UpdateSnakeSpeed
Select Case UpdateSnakeSpeed
Case currentscore > 199
[Code]....
This is the code I'm using right now. (works fine and is more logically correct than the above case statement. I have chosen to go with if .. end if statements over case, as I do not have a full understanding of what the variable SnakeUpdatespeed is doing in the Select case statement. If someone explains then I'll consider it. Also I know case statments are only meant to be used for 1 option selections, however I'm amazed that it still works in case. Atm it's going to be if end if. Now I'm trying to get the for next loop going with this (if it's logically possible). that's what i'm aiming overall out of this thread. To make a convenient loop.

I have been making an online role playing-game in VB2008 and inside the gameloop for the client there is some code that "smoothes" out the movement (instead of it being choppy from tile to tile.) It works pretty well but I'm having problems figuring out a math formula to get a good frame timer interval to set how fast the frames change based on how many pixels they can move per loop.Testing stuff out I found that 250ms is an ideal frame timer interval for 1.0 pixel movement per loop. If I were to double the movement step of pixels by 2 lets say (2.0 pixel step per loop) I found that the frame timer interval should be around 125ms. How can I get the frame timer interval by the movement step of pixels? In cases where the movement step can anything between 0.1 to 4.0 pixels.

I have an application that updates a great number of fields on a pretty short interval timer. (on a standard form)Question is as follows... which one of these statements will work better for this? (working better = faster/smoother)Dim textToUpdate as string
if textbox1.text <> textToUpdate then textbox1.text = textToUpdate
OR textbox1.text = textToUpdate

Why after you pressed the button Button1, this application crashes without considering the event timer1??
Public Class Form1
Public timer_event As Boolean
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
timer_event = False
Timer1.Interval = 3000 '3 sec

I am using a timer control to display a message form in my application, but it's not working the way I want it to. Currently, when the timer event fires I create a new instance of my message form & display it. But if the user is away from their desk & doesn't close the message form before the timer fires again, a new instance of the message form is created & shown. So how can I check to see if the message form is currently shown on the screen so multiple ones dont get displayed? This is my timer event:
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Using frm As New MsgForm
[Code]...
Do I need to use the default instance of the message form instead of creating a new one?

So I just spent the last 4 hours trying to find out what was wrong with my code, just to find out that there's a bug in this version or I just don't have enough knowledge of VB2010 (I'm coming from VB6, this is my first program on 2010)I removed the rest of the code just to point out the problem, here it simply tries to enable the Timer1 when you receive data in the SerialPort1
Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived
If Me.Timer1.Enabled = False Then
[code]....
After this I found that the code inside the Timer1 didn't run when the 100miliseconds passed, so I added a msgbox to see debug.
Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived
If Me.Timer1.Enabled = False Then

I have a timer on a page in ASP.NET.
After a certain period of time elapses, I want to disable the timer.
I want to put a static variable in the timers tick event that will track how many seconds have elapsed.
My question is, will this work?
If user X and Y are viewing the page will they both have separate local static variables?
What is the best method of shutting down an ASP.NET timer after a certain elapsed time?

I have a windows application that need to process som quite time consuming jobs. In my first try i did all processing under
the form thread. The result was bad response and update of the form due to the heavy jobs.To get around the problem with bad response from the form i created a new class "processing" where i put all the data processing. Then i instanciated a background worker where i in the "doWork" sub created a new instance of "processing".The "processing" class creates a timer from system.timer, and the timer drives the processing.On the Timer event Elapsed the timer starts a new thread from the thread pool.
My problem is now when i want to asynchronously close the background worker (with the corresponding function call what ever it is called ...) there is still a timer thread out there that causes exceptions for me.
1. How can i close my background worker and at the same time have the timer to be stopped?
2. Is there a way to synchronize the timer event so that the timer executes from the background worker thread?
3. Is there a better approach for me to adapt?

I want to create an array of timer in vb.net. My problem is that how will i raise the tick event for a particular timer, say mytimer(x).tick and inside the tick event there is also a button, say mybutton(x) which changes location every interval. for example:
public class blah
dim mybuttons(20) as button
dim mytimer(20) as timer
private sub form_load(....) handles me.load
for x as integer = 0 to 20
[Code]...
i dont know what to do next, all i want is to pass the button mybuttons(x) to mytimer(x) tick event, in which their index number are the same. i want to create one timer per button. how to do that? please help me and post example codes. i've researched the net but i cant understand passing variables, addhandlers, etc. i'm just new to programming object oriented.

I have an asp.net website to manage projects. I realized that when I click for the next project really fast and often it overrides all the next projects with the data of the first one. I call a method to save before to go for the next project. I use also a session variable for the id of the project.
EDIT: It looks like the sever stacks the save method and the ids but keeps the values of the first project in the controls this is the ajax that calls a server method to get the id and set it in an hidden field:
