View 14 RepliesI 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?
i want to make it automaticly close after 2 seconds of opening it without having to touch a button or anything like that.
View 15 RepliesI'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.
I have read a lot about the sluggishness of VS 2005 (VB in my case). Its generally very slow, especially if you get above 5'000 lines of code.However, I also experience a lot of freezes when trying to copy some lines of code. It will freeze for up to 10 seconds before I can continue working.

View 4 RepliesI have a VB.Net 2008 application which creates a Winword mail merge file, then merges it into a predefined template (think form letters).Based on activities throughout the day, up to (currently) five different types of letters can be created each morning for the previous day, although not all are created every day.Working with the process on my machine, everything worked fine.When installed on a server, though, it worked once, then stopped. Using Google, I figured out that the Winword wasn't shutting down, and was staying in memory.I followed all of the advice on Google which had to do with wrdApp.Quit(),wrdApp = Nothing and GC.Collect(), even throwing in an extra wrdApp = Nothing at the very end of the app.
