View 6 RepliesI designing a stopwatch type OO program and am stuck on trying to figure out the split time function of a stop watch. I want to list the split times in a list box as the user presses the split button and also display the final split time when the user presses the stop button. I feel I'm real close but just can't get over the hump, especially trying to code in OOP. The rest of my program works fine (start, stop, elapsed time). I am programming in VB 2005 and will display my relative code from both the class and form areas.

I have an application that has several stopwatches. I would like to be able to 'sync' a stopwatch with another at any given time. I tried setting the Elapsed time of one stopwatch to that of another stopwatch but I get that that property is 'read only'.
View 2 RepliesETA: Using Environment.TickCount does not present the same problem. ETA2: I should add that I don't actually use the Forms.Timer in my app - as this would negate the use of a high frequency timer. I've used it here to simplify the code. ETA3: I've published a workaround as an answer below. I'm having problems with the StopWatch class that I'm observing on a laptop with XP but not a different laptop with Win7. Here's the test code:

I have a StopWatch running, I convert the milliseconds to the following format. 00:00:00 i.e HH:MM:SS which is a label.
I can pause the the stopwatch and resume but I dont seem to be able to edit the stopwatchs time. So lets say my time says 00:00:02 , i now want to pause the program which I can, but also change the stopwatch time to 00:00:10 and resume counting.
I have a stopwatch that counts down to zero from a random time set when the app loads. Now what I want to do is when that timer runs out and someone clicks reset it again is random rather than the same time as before. My code is

I'm having trouble with a Stopwatch one one of the user's machines. I'm using the Stopwatch class to track time elapsed on one of my applications, and it seems to work fine on everyone else's machine, but on one machine it goes really slow. It's probably 1/3 or 1/4 of the actual time elapsed.
Here's the
I'm using the timer to update the textbox that displays the time elapsed of the stopwatch every second.

I'm currently trying to code a program which basically uses the stopwatch function to time the length of the users break. Basically when I work at home I want to allow my self 4% of my shift length in personal breaks.
So far I have
Public Class Form1
Dim elpsTmr As New Stopwatch
Dim ts As TimeSpan = elpsTmr.Elapsed
Private Sub txtshiftlength_TextChanged(ByVal sender _
As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtshiftlength.TextChanged
[Code] .....
The only fields I don't have working are hard ones. I'm trying to figure out how to subtract the length of the last break used from the minutes allowed to take and display it in a text box to display how many minutes you have left to take. And also to work out how many minutes have been used since the program has been opened or reset.
So a timer's maximum interval is 1 which is a thousand ticks a second. A Stopwatch's frequency is 2238906 ticks a second on my pc...
I am wondering if there is a reliable way to trigger an event for each tick of the stopwatch without missing any ticks...
If I can somehow get a Tick event for the stopwatch, I believe I can increase the resolution of my input recorder....
One the click of a button the stopwatch starts, then on the click of a second button the stopwatch stops then states either in a msgbox the time taken between the two button clicks.

View 2 RepliesI want to display an equation prior to solving it. Obviously in MS word etc I can use equation editor to write an equation, but I'm writing my own program.
Is there an easy way to display an equation. Obviously I could use text to write eg as text "a=b^2-3(c-d)/5" and everyone here would have little problem interpretting what I want but I want this to be accessible to 12 year old children.
Alternatively I could try and manipulate lots of text boxes one on top of the other to try and explain what I'm doing
The third alternative I thought of was to write in equation editor export the graphic and then import a graphic.
I'm sure I must be trying to reinvent the wheel - which I believe is the one thing OE programming is supposed to avoid.

View 4 RepliesBeen trying to figure out why my progress bars (one in the status bar when the main window is open and the other in a window by itself before the main window is shown) go up most of the way, then stop till the processing is done.I have refresh in there where the action takes place, and that made it work mostely.Basically I'm loading a file into a string, then while in a loop, I'm processing the file by lines. I have a function that retrieves a line, then it does a:
pbProgress.Value = pbProgress.Maximum - sWork.length

I would like to develop a structure to maintain my user's text input somehow on each form to allow user to return to the form and see the prior input for potential editing. My app has four forms which accept user input and form a string for output to printer. In the eventuality that the user notes a mistake in the input after leaving the app, I would like to develop a structure to "save" the user input at the form level and allow for repopulating the text boxes with the prior user input. Make sense? I have no idea how accomplish that functionality. Maybe it's too complex for my purposes. What do the pros think?
