How do I implement a timer that will close the IE after every 5 seconds till the count runs out?
I have an object, - all done programmatically like:[code]I cannot figure out, how to add the times, so I can use it (Tics, Fire event, start/stop etc).I cannot add the timer to a panel via drag/drop as the class is made purely programmatically.MyTimer above seems not to have any "timer-related" properties/methods available. The docu suggest to add the timer to the panel, but how to do that in my case ? There seems to be several changes from VB Express 2005 to the 2008-version, that I'm using. Documentation contains only little info in this area.
View 5 RepliesI have a requirement for a timer that has the following behaviour:
Millisecond accuracy I want the tick event handler to only be called once the current tick handler has completed (much like the winforms timer)I want exceptions on the main UI thread not to be swallowed up by the thread timer so this requires Invoke/Send instead of BeginInvoke/PostI've played around with CreateTimerQueueTimer and had some success but at the same time had problems with code reentrance and/or locks when deleting the timer.
I decided to create my own timer so that I could get a better idea of what is going on under the hood so that I can fix the locking and reentrance problems. My code seems to work fine leading me to believe that I may as well use it. Does it look sound? I've put in a check if the timer is deleted to make sure that the deletion is complete before the timer can be created again. Does that look ok?
Note: I should say that I call timeBeginPeriod(1) and timeEndPeriod(1) inorder to achieve the millisecond accuracy.(The following code is converted from vb.net to c#, so apologies for any missed mess-ups}
ETA: I've found a problem with it. If the timer is running at an interval of 1 millisecond, and I call, say, Change(300), it locks up @ while (this.DeleteRequest). This must be because the TimerLoop is in the this.CallbackDelegate.Invoke(null) call.

I am trying to implement a progress bar into my code but it seems to not run when another section of code is running. I set a timer to run when the ok button is clicked and it should then start the progress bar but also when clicking the ok button whatever radio button is selected also runs. I am trying to do this in Visual Basic 2008. I will post my current code below and I will say I am a complete novice at this so I apologize if the code looks weird:

As normal, it creates stubs for all the MustOverride (abstract) properties and methods that I need to override (I love that), EXCEPT for the events. Apparently thare two events defined as abstract (MustOverride) in the POSCommon base class, but VB doesn't generate stubs for them.[code]...

I'm trying to implement printing functionality into a simple program for my company. It's not necessary, but it would be a nice finishing touch for everyone. And really, in practice, my printing feature works. My problem is that each line is printed on a separate page of paper and I can't find a way to just like, print a page.
It doesn't have to be fancy. I know that I won't need word wrap, nor will anyone ever print more than one page. Here's my ginked & modified code thus far:
Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage

I want the program to exit the sub after the timer has been started. But if theres no args, it should just show itself. The problem is that it seems to not care about the exit sub thingy, cause it shows itself anyway.
What i want to happen is for the dictionary keys and items to be overwritten each time it is executed, as the data needs to be up to date.
