How To Pause Program
Sep 24, 2006
My problem is that I have a textbox that is filled with a line of data from an attached barcode scanner. I want to make it so when something is scanned into this box, another function is triggered (it clears the textbox and commits the data to a CSV file, so the user can scan another barcode). I was using a .TextChanged function so that when the text was changed in this textbox, it would commit it then, however the problem with this approach is that if the serial number is 77G8DS, then it will commit 7,7,G,8,D and S individually, instead of an entire string.

I am trying to make a start and pause button (and hence continue) to start, pause, and continue my program. The start button works but the pause button does not. Can someone look at my code and see what the pause button needs to do to pause the program? I am using VB 2005. Here is my code.

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.

In VB.net, is it possible to create a pause in a while loop, wait for user input (for example, hit the STOP button, if desired), and if no input within say... a second, continue on?[code]...

I would like for my program to pause for about 3-5 seconds and then close/exit after pausing. I've used the my.application.doevents() and threading.thead.sleep as well, which may work, but when I add close() after the pause it just closes.

The problem that I'm encountering right now is that I can't seem to get my program to wait for a couple seconds for another application to load before it starts to check if it's open. Here's what I've got (feel free to tell me its a terrible way of writing!):
Private Sub Running_Shown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown
Main.Enabled = False
[Code]...
So if I don't have the sleep function then oasicer hasn't loaded and it says it's finished straight away, but if I call a 5s sleep then it crashes, and not for just 5 sec. Is there a replacement for this line? Something that would just delay going to the while loop?

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?

I'm tryng to figure out a way how I can stop my code from running while I wait for input from a device.Networked device that sends data to .net app.I now wish to prompt the user to answer a 'Continue' questoion and select either 'Yes' or 'No' on the device. This is transmitted to program over netstream.I want the code to pause though while waiting for an answer as different routines are run dependent on the answer.

Is there a command or couple of code lines that will pause the running program for one or two seconds?
I have a program that checks the system time every 250milliseconds and I need to skip checking it three times the first time it comes back with ":00" seconds from the system clock.
Or another option would be to reset the timer to 1000 and then back to 250...

how to tell a program to wait or pause without using a timer control.
I did a bit of Lua scripting a few years back and the function was: Wait(5) or however long you needed the program to pause.

Out of curiosity, is there a way i can make a program stop or pause for a period of time (which i would choose) before continuing the code WITHOUT a timer.I think I've seen this done before, but I'm not positive.Also note that I'm talking about a forms application (not a console app if that would be any different.)

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.

I'm writing a program to set the sale prices in an sql database based on criteria entered by the user. The application that came with the database crashes when you try to update over 1,000 sale prices at once. The other users also loose connection to the database due to a timeout error...
How can I make my new sale program pause after a certain number of updates as to not bog down the SQL server

I've been trying to figure out how to pause a process. It seems I need to use 2 different APIs: SuspendThread and OpenThread.I found some C# code at this link that was working for them.After I translated the code to VB, I get nothing when I run the code. I debugged the app and put a watch on the function.The following is what I got from the watch: Name 'SelectedItems' is not declared.[code]In order to work with the selected process, I'm parsing the Process ID. I then use that PID to get that process and then work with it.I sue this type of code often in my project and it works just fine, which is why I am confused that I'm getting that message from the watch.

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 have tried many different ways to make this work. Every attempt causes a pause where the drag operation is not recognizing the drop sites under it. There are many long narrow flowLayoutPanels that allowdrop of my button. I am basically wanting the scrollbar(vsFLP_UnitPanel) to scroll if the condition is met. It works, but for some reason there is a pause when the scroll begins.
Try
If e.Data.GetDataPresent("myButton") Then
Dim show As Integer

When I run this code, it does not seem to open the OpenFileDiaplog diaplg box, or if it does, it closes it immediately, and I get at index out of bounds exception at the " infileStream = getFile.OpenFile()"This exact same code works without problem in another application I am building. So maybe its something about the IDE environment?I think, but am not certain, that this code worked in 2003 .net. I then used the VS wizard to automatically convert to the 2005 environment that I am now coding in.
Dim infileStream As Stream
Dim getFile As New OpenFileDialog
getFile.Filter = "All files (*.*)|*.*"

ButtonStart.Enabled = False

I know that even when the timer is disabled, it still keeps on accumulating so I need a way that when the timer is paused, the timer doesn't keep on accumulating and when the timer is resumed, the timer continues from where it was when it was paused.

My application first checks if an SQL Server is installed before it runs. If there is no server it installs one. Now I want the application to pause or exit during the installation, since its thread may compromise the installation process, or is it not?. How do I do this? The Sleep() mmethod may not help because I can't know how long the installation process would take.

I want to insert a pause between the display of one control (a button) and the display of another control (a label) on a windows form. Specifically, I want the form to load with the button (and other controls) displayed, then, after a pause of two seconds, the label to display. I have tried timers, and .Sleep() but the effect is not what I want. That is, there is a pause before all of the controls are displayed, and all (including the label) are displayed at one time. I want most of the controls (all except the label) to display normally, then, after a two second pause, I want the label to display (on the same form).

On my main form i need to pop up a sub form and await user input before proceeding. I am able to pop the form but not able to pause code excecution until the user input is there. Here is what i have tried:
If chk_athor_cobb_scholi.Checked = True Then
Vselect.Visible = True
While Vselect.ex2 = False
[Code].....
The problem of course is that the while loop causes a crazy infinite loop and locks the program down during excecution. How do i await the user input?

I have a form that has a webbrowser and two buttons in it. [code] This all works great but when the last line is run in Button 2 [code] another page is displayed before the data I am trying to get is available. There are more fields and another button to be pressed. However, because another page is loaded, I don't think I can just plop in the lines of code I need to manipulate the website because of load delays. Should I use VB's timer to delay a few seconds before running the next sequence of code?
