I have another problem with my bot.
[Code]...
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'm having an issue sorting out why my code isnt working. When I "step into" it line by line i can get it all to work exactly how I want, however when I actually run the macro i get an subscript error 9. The code basicly sets a .CSV url to a variable "CurrentURL". The code then launches this url which opens a .csv window called table.csv. I want to copy 2 columns off this window and paste it to another document called "MPT_CAPM_v1", then close table.csv. Here is my code the red line is where I believe I'm running into my error.'This macro opens a URL, copies and pastes the price data into the sheet
[Code]...
I think the error may be caused by the fact it takes about 4-5 seconds to open table.csv in excel, and my line of code is trying to select a window that isnt currently open. After I get the error message, table.csv opens up. I've tried Loops & Sleep functions to try to input a delay, but regardless it seems that table.csv will not open until the end of said loop or delay.
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..
View 5 RepliesHi. what is the difference of sleep function and pause function (using timer) between a loop.
View 12 RepliesI am writing an ASP.NET class that interfaces with an external application. The flow of the transaction between the web server and this application is as follows:My object writes a file to a directory.The outside application detects this file and processes it. This can take between 1-5 seconds.The outside application writes a response file to the same directory.My object detects the response file and parses the results.The 1-5 seconds it can take for the external application to process my file is my problem. The most straightforward way to wait for the file seems to be something like this:
Do While Not File.Exists(f)
Thread.Sleep(500)
Loop
Of course, Thread.Sleep() completely locks up the rest of my website until the outside application processes the file. Clearly, this is not a workable solution.How can I effectively "wait" for my file to be processed without locking up the rest of my website?
I am having trouble with an Access form which runs some VB code behind it. The form accepts lots of user inputs and these are then grabbed by my VB code to calculate a result. This all works fine but does take some time for the calculation to complete due to the size of the datasets. Rather than the user having to stare at the same screen and wonder what is happening, I have another form which pops up to tell the user the calculations are in progress. The problem I am having is that this window will not display properly until after the calculation is completed. It seems as though Access cannot handle displayinging my window whilst the calculation is being caried out.
Is there any way to delay the calculation in VB so that my window will display correctly? The calculation can then take place after this. Here is my code:Private Sub Calc_Click()Dim ccombo(11) As IntegerDim Total As IntegerDoCmd.OpenForm "calcsinprog"
I would like some kind of delay or pause here to allow the window to open properly before the calculations below.
ccombo(2) = Me.c2combo.Column(1, Me.c2combo.ListIndex)ccombo(3) = Me.c2combo.Column(1, Me.c3combo.ListIndex)ccombo(4) = Me.c2combo.Column(1, Me.c4combo.ListIndex)ccombo(5) = Me.c2combo.Column(1, Me.c5combo.ListIndex)ccombo(6) = Me.c2combo.Column(1, Me.c6combo.ListIndex)ccombo(7) = Me.c2combo.Column(1, Me.c7combo.ListIndex)ccombo(8) = Me.c2combo.Column(1, Me.c8combo.ListIndex)ccombo(9) = Me.c2combo.Column(1, Me.c9combo.ListIndex)ccombo(10) = Me.c2combo.Column(1, Me.c10combo.ListIndex)ccombo(11) = Me.c2combo.Column(1, Me.c11combo.ListIndex)ccombo(1) = Get_PostCode_Score(Replace(Me.TextBox1, " ", ""))

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.

Is there is way to delay loops without using (Sleep or timer) in VB
Because on java you cant do something like this
For(i = 0; i< 100; i++) {
Event.Wait(3000)
Animate(i);
}
I dont want to use sleep because your control is dead while is at sleep And using timer waste memory and process timer plus more coding is needed!
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?
For count = 1 To 20
WebBrowser1.Navigate("URL")
simcheckcheck()

Once again I'm migrating to vb.net finally from vb6 and trying to get some of my old code to work. I was using the following code to let something finish running and then after the time set go to the next.

Sleep just stops the code period but this actually runs the piece before it and then continues. I put it all into vb.net and it threw out an error with DoEvents.
Ok i have this code on a button click hook
[Code]...
but if the checkbox is not checked then i want it to wait until it has copied the file before deleting it because at the moment it deletes it quicker than it copies it and the file could be different size everytime so i cant just put a simple timer of say for example 5 seconds in.
Okay so I have a webbrowser that navigates to 1 page and I want it to wait 5 seconds and go to the next page, then I want it to wait 5 seconds and go to the next page I want it to navigate to and so on... I tried thread.sleep but I don't want to have the form stop completely in case someone wants to minimize the form. I thought about using a timer to tell it how long it wants to stop and go.

1) Why the pause button and also the pause command does not exist in VB 2010 Express?
2) I have some solutions under 2010. In 2 or 3, while debugging, I can change instructions without restarting the application. In others, I cannot change anything (Is like readonly), Looking in 'My Applications', Tab 'Debug', Option 'Configuration' I can choose several Options. In the applications I can debug, the default is 'Active (Debug)'; in the others is 'Active (Release)'. If I change the options, the word 'Active' remains attached to the original option.
Is there a simple sleep function in Visual Basic that doens't involve thread.
Something similiar like there exists in: C: sleep(1);
We also tried this code:Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal milliseconds As Long)' pause for 5 seconds
Sleep 5000 but it didn't work. It gave me this error: PInvokeStackImbalance was detected

I have an app that I'm debugging and I need to pause it by clicking on a "pause" button in the development environment. I don't want to stop it programmatically, just manually to check what it is doing. I know this should be simple but I can't find a pause button anywhere on the toolbar.
View 4 RepliesI wrote the below function to sleep, while processing the window events. It works well enough, but I'd like to improve the accuracy of the sleep. Example - If you call it with 10 msec (0.010), it can take up to 15 msec of real time before it exits. How to make it closer to 10 msec?
Public Sub Spin(ByVal TimeInSec As Double)
Dim tsStart As TimeSpan = Date.Now.TimeOfDay
Dim tsNext As TimeSpan = tsStart
Dim TimeSlept As Double = tsNext.TotalSeconds - tsStart.TotalSeconds

What line of code would I need to use the timer function just as a delay, so like as lines are being executed, once it gets to this timer it waits for say 1500 milliseconds before execution is continued.
View 4 RepliesI am facing an issue. Actually what i am doing is that i am tryin to store certain values in a database. A function is such that it calculates 5 values and stores them in a database. While storing them in the database it displays them in a textbox on the form. Now i want to display them one by one which it does. But it does it so fast that i can only see the last value that it enters in the database inside the textboxes.[code]...

View 4 RepliesI would like to enquire how I can set a delay in between chunks of code.For example, after some code which interacts with a server, I am supposed to get a corresponding information from the server before it is appropriate to proceed on to the next part of the code. As the server response is not immediate, therefore an arbitrary delay is needed.What is the proper code format that I need to add?

View 8 RepliesThe coding that I have a problem with might make people think that I am creating some malware.

I am not sure how to make my program pause in the middle of execution, waiting for a certain period of time to pass BEFORE the next lines execute. I have already used System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(int) but this pauses the waits but still executes the subsequent code. If I were to:Private Sub Hello()System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(int)MessageBox.Show("Hello")End Sub* Time in milliseconds.This would NOT stop the execution of the MessageBox for int seconds, the program continues to run???How would I pause the code execution where I want, and for the time I want?
View 10 RepliesI 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.
View 7 Replieshow to pause the execution of code in an event handler.
For instance in a forms load event how can I have the rest of the programs features continue to run but wait 5 seconds before the code in the load event handler is executed?
it is possible to force the timer to do the code within the tick event before the delay.In other words..Usually the timer when starts it delays 'x' seconds according to the interval settings then process some codes then delay again 'x' seconds.What I want here is to do the code then delays 'x' seconds.
