i need a command to delay my code for 5 seconds. [code] But this command freezes my application while it pauses, and while its frozen, the user cant move the window or use the application's interface at all..So do you know of any better delay/pause commands or methods?
View 3 RepliesI 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 7 RepliesI remember in VB6 there is a command to delay something for a few seconds before moving on to the next step. Is there such a command for .net (I forgot what the command is for vb6)
An example of what I want to do below..
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Try
PictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Bitmap.FromFile("d:warrior.bmp")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Please insert the DVD to your DVD Drive.")

How to make a program wait till a shell command finishes? For example:[code]In this example the line "Finished" is first written and only after then the shell function starts. How to start the shell function first, and only when it has been finished write the line "Finished"?
View 6 RepliesI am trying to delay the execution of the send key command. In VB script, it was relatively easy:
obj.sendkeys "{enter}"
wscript.sleep 1000
obj.sendkeys "{tab} {tab}"
When I do it via VB express, it is clumping the code together. For example
Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)
SendKeys.Send("enter was entered ")
Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)
SendKeys.Send("double tab was input ")
Instead of pausing for 5 seconds, typing the keys then pausing for another 5 seconds, it pauses for 10 seconds and then immediately types the input. I tested this on notepad.

This was working a week or two back but I have now installed sp1 for Visual Studio 2010 - is this a bug or is there some way. I can get this working again. I cannot access the project properties either, which is a known problem with SP1, so how to edit the project.vbproj file.
View 2 RepliesI would like to enquire how I can set a delay in between chunks of code.For example, after some code which interacts with a server, I am supposed to get a corresponding information from the server before it is appropriate to proceed on to the next part of the code. As the server response is not immediate, therefore an arbitrary delay is needed.What is the proper code format that I need to add?
View 7 RepliesI 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, " ", ""))

it is possible to force the timer to do the code within the tick event before the delay.In other words..Usually the timer when starts it delays 'x' seconds according to the interval settings then process some codes then delay again 'x' seconds.What I want here is to do the code then delays 'x' seconds.

View 1 Replieswhen i run code after 60 sec it display following error what is this error and how to eliminate ?ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected Message: The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x2040a8 to COM context 0x204218 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations.

I've been trying to use "System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(15)" as the delay code but if freeze the form. I used this "Location.Refresh()" where location is the name of the form, but it didn't give me what I need. This code is going to work on a ProgressBar while typing and the value of the progress bar change while typing. The progress bar jumps to the new value and I want it to move. So I thought about puting it in a "For ... Loop" but the whole form freezes.

View 2 RepliesI am looking for an easy way to have a command prompt like interface for my form. The idea is to make it an interactive text interface. Here is an example of what it might look like > Hi Hello! > How are you? I am fine! >_So it's very much like a chat. BTW, I am not referring to what the example is, just the concept of a command prompt, that I can create a scrollback buffer for. Very much like a MSDOS prompt.
