May 15, 2011I'm working on a Windows Forms application with a module, and I want to put a time delay in the module rather than a form.

Time Delay - Make GUI Program To Delay Before The Next Command
Dec 21, 2009I 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 3 RepliesMulti-threading Scoping - Enclosing The Test Module Portion That Hosts The Delay In A Synclock Results?
Jul 16, 2010I'm on my way to MSDN but thought I'd stop by here first because the answers are usually more cogent.I have a test bed that mimmicks my product app. The general architecture is a factory that builds/instantiates a number of objects (device controllers) that are scalable in number based on requirement. Each object has a threaded portion that reads a device. This way, each object can read its own device simultaneously with all the others. To perform the read, the object calls a routine in a Module that houses the device interfaces. Interestingly (and happily), it seems like each thread has its own copy of the Module routine.
The test bed seems to verify what I'm seeing in the app. In the testbed, a 500 mil second delay is substituted for the device call. Even enclosing the test module portion that hosts the delay in a Synclock results in multi-threaded execution of the pseudo device call. I haven't tested for data yet, but this seems to indicate that when the module routine is called from controller object, it too carries it's own copy of the data just like the calling object. As a long time c++ programmer...that don't quite seem right.

View 4 RepliesSlide Show - Allow User To Set Delay Time For Each Photo?
Apr 26, 2011I was asked to create a slide show in Visual Basic 2010 that had to meet certain requirements but I've run into a few difficulties. I have a slide show that works but it doesn't meet my friends standard and I'm not sure how to go about this process.He asked me to meet these requirements: The Slide Show Project requirements of your project are:
1. The use of if statements.
2. The use of arrays.
3. The use of loops.
4. The use of graphics.
5. The use of key/mouse controls.
6. The use of images.
7. Allow user to set delay time for each photo.
8. Transition effects 1: Fade in, fade out
9. Transition effects 2: Fly in, Fly out
10. The use of timers.
11. Borderless, always centered.
12. Introduction Screen, Credit Screen.
13. innovations, special feature.
The code that I had previously came up with was as follows:
Public Class Form1
Private ImageFileNames As New List(Of String)
Private CurrentImage As Integer = -1[code].....
I pre-loaded my own photos into the slide show but I just want to know how to right this code in order to satisfy my friend.

View 3 RepliesSplash Screen Delay Before Loading Main Form?
Dec 18, 2009Im trying make my application display my splash screen for 5secs before loading my main form. I have read lots of threads on this and they all seem to point to the following:Add the following code to the New() sub of the splashscreen.
My.Application.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = 5000
I have also seen a suggestion to add the following code to the OnInitilalize event in the ApplicationsEvents file.
Me.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = 5000
I've have tried both ways, and although it successfully makes my splashscreen wait 5 seconds before closing, it doesnt prevent the Main form from waiting for the splashscreen to close before loading. The mainform simply loads over the top of the splashscreen.This thread is exactly what im after but i cant seem to get mine to work.

I have application framework enabled. I have my startup form set to my main form, and i have set my splashscreen in the application tab of my project properties. Im using VS2008.I also noticed that when i clicked on the "View Application Events" button in the application tab of my project properties, the file was blank. I have seen that some other people have had problems with this. I just cut and paste the following code into my ApplicationEvents file. Potentially an issue??? Any reason why the code was not auto-generated to begin with?

View 2 Replies.net - Finding Out Which Instance Of A Form Initiated Another Form Or Module
Oct 5, 2010I'm trying to figure out the best way to reference a control on a form from within a module. Unfortunately the form is just an instance, so it's not as easy as calling form.control...
Dim ChildForm As New frmSearch
' Make it a child of this MDI form before showing it. '
ChildForm.MdiParent = Me
ChildForm.Show()
That form has an option for printing, which calls another form where certain options are chosen. The print form in turn calls a function in a module, which tries to reference back to the origional form.
childform as new frmSearch -> frmPrintForm -> sub okToPrint (in module Print)
okToPrint tries to reference a listview on frmSearch, but can't find it.
For Each itmX In frmSearch.lstResults.Items
So the solutions I can think of off the top of my head are:
1. Somehow divine which form is the caller of frmPrintForm
2. Pass ChildForm to the frmPrintForm as a variable to be passed on to module Print..
3. Use frmSearch directly instead of using an instance of it.
Number 1 would be my preference, as I don't want to have to pass forms around like that.
