Timer Event In Game - Default Number In Textbox?
Feb 1, 2012This is code for a game. On one of the forms on my VB program I have a large number of text boxes, the issue is regarding the following code:
Total_Gold.Text = (WoodPrice * TxtBoxWoodUnits.Text) + (MagicWoodPrice * TxtBoxMagicWoodUnits.Text) +
(Pheonix_EggsPrice * TxtBoxPheonixEggsUnits.Text) +
(MetalPrice * TxtBoxMetalUnits.Text) +
(Dwarven_GemsPrice * TxtBoxDwarvenGemsUnits.Text)
[Code] .....
This is contained in a timer event that shows how much it would cost the player to purchase all of the items. This works as intended, until the text box is blank. Each "section" draws information from one of 16 text boxes. My question is this: Is it possible to have each text box to have a "default" number that gets put into a text box when it is empty. This is needed to be done for all of the text boxes, so either a loop or a non specific code slice would be preferred.
Game Programming :: Adjust A Timer Interval According To Integer Variable?
Jun 12, 2011my 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.
Asp.net - Local Static Variables In Timer.Tick Event (Stopping A Timer)
Jul 9, 2009I 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?
Synchronize The Timer Event So That The Timer Executes From The Background Worker Thread?
Apr 23, 2009I 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?
Create An Array Of Timer - Raise The Tick Event For A Particular Timer?
Jan 11, 2011I 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.
[Timer] Trigger Event Manually - User Must Wait For A Minute Before The Event Is Triggered
Feb 12, 2010Eg. ""vb.net" timer event trigger on purpose". This application is meant to run at all times to download a web page every minute. To avoid freezing the UI, I read that the best solution is to move the code from a While/Sleep loop to a Timer that will be triggered every minute. The problem I have, is that the user must wait for a minute before the event is triggered:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Timer1.Interval = 60000
Timer1.Enabled = True
[CODE]...
Is it possible to force this event to occur instead of waiting for it?

Making A Timer Form And Event?
Jan 23, 2011I am currently developing an application in which I would make a form full size automaticly.On the location where I set the time parameters, lets say, I want an event to occur every 2 hours, in which the event would be a form becoming full-sized and, on that form a clock which would show that the form will resize on its original state after lets say, 15 minutes.And also I would like to disable the Windows Start keys.I tried some codes but they were for an event if the key is pressed.For this I need the keys to be disabled as soon as I start my application.For the full size form I have used this code:
Me.Height = My.Computer.Screen.WorkingArea.Height
Me.Width = My.Computer.Screen.WorkingArea.Width
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
Reseting A Timer If An Event Occurs?
Nov 8, 2009I have a program that a textbox pops up for 30 sec. What I want to do is this: Have it go away after 30 sec if the user does not enter anything in it and hit return of click the ok button. But if they DO I want the timer to reset back to 30 sec. I have tried disabling and enabling the timer event--- sending a new interval, and spent some time looking in the Forums.

Variable Scope And Event Timer
Mar 15, 2011I'm trying to create a simple media player that will scan a directory for certain filetypes, add them to a playlist then play a random playlist entry - changing every x seconds.I figured this would be simple in VB and, to an extent it was. I have the code running that chooses the directory and plays the random file.I just need to now make this repeat every 30 seconds or so.I have all the coded attached under the sub for the 'open' function of the player so it's quite flat. I think I need to use a timer here, to trigger the routine to pick and play the media every 30 seconds?In doing this I think I need to break the variables out of the function I currently have as they need to be shared between the timer loop function and the central 'creating file list' function.
I'm having trouble - I'm no coder (as you'll tell!) and although getting this far was easy I'm now (I think) bumping into threading / variable scope issues which are a bit of a brick wall.I've tried making the variables public / global by declaring in the class rather than the sub but I get errors at runtime. Presumably because of how I'm creating the windows media objects? [code]

Create A Timer That Will Activate A Tick Event?
Jul 11, 2011I am attempting to create a timer that will activate a tick event every 1 second until stopped by an "If" statement. The tick event should then drive a clock measuring time in units of hours, minutes and seconds. The if statements handle the time readout, timer stop and activate another form after a set number of hours have elapsed. I have tried several different methods and while my application is running, it does not add increments to the integers representing the time units, refresh the displayed time units, or perform any of the timer related functions. I assume the cause is that I just don't know as much as I think I do (which isn't much)
Here is the applicable code:
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices
Imports System.IO
Public Class SessionManager

Modify A Queue Within The Tick Event Of A Timer?

Dim NewQueue As New Queue(Of String)
NewQueue.Enqueue("alpha")
NewQueue.Enqueue("beta")

create a looping display (first "alpha", then "beta", etc.). What's missing? Also, why can I declare the Queue outside of a sub, but I can't fill it there as well (enqueue)?

VS 2008 Timer Tick-event Never Occures?
Oct 21, 2009I'm trying to make my application react the way I want if the internet connection goes down, because the application need a permanent internet connection to work properly. This also includes if the server my program is trying to connect to goes down/stops or something.
What I want is that if a exception occures when trying to connect to the server, i calls a sub wich stops all timers, disables some buttons and comboboxes. At the same time it starts a new timer named "retrytimer". The retrytimer checks every fifth second if the connection is re-established. If it is, it activates all the controls and disables itself.
For some reason, the retrytimer tick-event never occures. I've tried inserted a breakpoint on the first line of the event-sub, but it never hits. If I check the enabled-property of the timer, it is set to "true". Why does this happen?The timer is made in the design window, and it's default enabled-property is set to false.Here is my sub wich deactivates some controls and starts the timer:
vb.net
Private Sub connectionLost(ByRef errnr As Integer) connected = False If starttimer.Enabled Then starttimer.Enabled = False If resulttimer.Enabled Then resulttimer.Enabled = False If radioposttimer.Enabled Then radioposttimer.Enabled = False If runningtimer.Enabled Then runningtimer.Enabled = False
[Code]...
But here is the funny part! If I start the application without a internet connection, everything works the way I want. But if I disable the internet connection in the middle of my program, it acts as described. The lasts messagebox in my connectionLost-sub are shown, and the timer is set to enabled = true.
Does anyone have a clue? EDIT: I think I've narrowed down the problem quite a bit.It seems like the timer won't work correctly if the connectionLost-sub is called from within a BackgroundWorker. If it is called from something else than inside a BackgroundWorker, it seems to work the way I want.
