If I want to trigger an event every hour, I would have to set the timer interval to 3600000. That seems a bit crazy. Is there a better way to trigger events in these "longer than X second" type intervals?

View 3 RepliesI developed app which accepts user responses. I created secondary labels which I envisioned as larger "tool tips" which prompt the user. ("prompts")As the user inputs to either combo box or text box, the label should go invisible and a "prompt" for the next input should go visible.I am trying to use Selected Index Changed,Leave, or LostFocus events to accomplish the visible invisible change.Is that the most effficient way to accomplish my functionality? A twist I would like to incorporate: the purpose of the "prompts" is to guide an unsophisticated user through the app the first couple times.After familiarity is acheived the "prompts" can be annoying.My strategy is to allow user to turn off the "prompts" by a check box.Then my conditionals will test the checkbox. checked property and either show the "prompts" or not based on the test.

View 7 RepliesI've been playing with VB.NET for a couple days now, and I was looking into key input controls, now I've managed to have it react to keyboard buttons being pushed inside the main form (wasn't hard), where it counts total amount of keys pushed, not what keys are pushed etc.
What I'm having a harder time is finding a way to have this same functionality even if the form isn't active (for example when minimized to the system tray). I did find a similar question on these boards, but it was regarding hotkeys and that user was just referenced to the hotkey API, which is not what I am aiming for.
It was working fine until I changed it to connect to an ftp sever, added NetworkCredentials and said connect, downloads fine but does not trigger the events like its supposed to. What do I do to fix this?I'm sorry if I misspelled something or my grammar is wrong, I've never done well in those subjects.

I have a main form that has a dynamically generated treeview and also a panel control. Depending on the selection made within the treeview the panel docks 1 of three diffrent usercontrols which are full sub forms(done for ease of modifing design of sub form rather than layering panels on top of panels).Upon button click withing usercontrol i wish to trigger event within main form.For example delete button wich then triggers to remove current selected node from treeview. code for 1 of three diffrent user controls
Dim ctrlQ As New QuoteUC(TrViewQuotation.SelectedNode)
PnlSubFormDock1.Controls.Add(ctrlQ)
Code for delete button for which i need to raise event.
If MsgBox("Are you sure you wish to delete this customer ?", vbYesNo, "Delete Record") = vbYes Then
Deletecustomer(n)
End If
i have to develop a software for motorola mc9090 that reads barcodes and rfids simultaneously, so i need to catch two different triggers: the one on the keyboard for barcodes and the other in the backside for rfids.the problem is that i didn't find any sample that illustrates how to set the trigger to read only barcodes, i found something on emdk 2.5 samples that shows how to set the trigger to read rfids but nothing for barcodes. So when i press any trigger the barcode reader is always enabled with rfids reader.Does exist a way to manage them with separated triggers?

How add a timer with different intervals like ( 1000,5000,10000) ? , I need all intervals in the same timer.
View 6 RepliesWhat would I do to change my intervals into minutes?
to have my timer set to 10 minutes?
look at the comments at the beginning of each class. Note, the period is rather small (100ms), and the process being triggered could occasionally take more than 100ms (in which case, the next thread trigger should be delayed ... two threads shoud never overlap). Also, the class will never be instantiated more than once.

I decided to whip up a simple stopwatch-esque timer for some needs of mine. Well after writing a very basic code for the timer to show seconds and milliseconds I see that the intervals are wrong[code]...
View 16 RepliesI have a piece of hardware that is controlled via USB.There are 8 LEDs on the output byte. One LED per bit.I like to toggle the outputs based on selection of checkboxes and given frequency entered in TextBox.I inserted 8 checkboxes to allow me to select the desired LEDs to be on.I select the checkboxes to select the required LEDs.The checkbox gives me the byte value. XORing the byte value with 255I can see them toggling very fast. I have a while loop to blink forever until I click on stop button.The stop makes the seq=false and this should stop the blinking but it keeps going.How can I insert desired delay of flashing frequency in my output routine?How can I stop on demand to change pattern without exiting the program.
View 2 RepliesI'm using the chart control that's built in to Visual Basic 2010.NET Service Pack 4.
I am creating a basic date time graph with time on the axis and, at the minute, random points between -20 and positive 20 on the y axis. At the minute I can set everything up perfectly. The only problem is that the label on the x axis is not a time, it's a number. To be precise, it's the XLabelInterval value. This value is a double, so the label on the x axis is also a double not a time. But that's only interval I am setting. I think, by default, because I am not setting any labels, it is just using that value as the label as well.[code]...
What are the timer intervals for VB2008?It wont let me go over 100 so I'm not sure if 1= 1 second, or what.
View 2 RepliesI am busy with a routine that will draw a bar chart.The X-axis is from 0 -100, no problem. The problem is the Y-axis.it will range from 0 to whatever the highest y-value will be.
My problem is that the y-axis should still be divided into 10 intervals, and the lenght of my y-axis should be the same in my picture box.I am using an array to fill the values, chartdata (0-9). It gets 10 values from the program. the values are 0 -10, 11 -20,21-30....91-100 . here is the code. It is working, but my Y-axis is messed up. Printing the labels of the y-axis is a problem.
Private Sub PictureBox1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Paint
Dim chartData() As Single = {mark0, mark10, mark20, mark30, mark40, mark50, mark60, mark70, mark80, mark90}[code]......\vb

i have a need for my vb.net app to perform methods at regular intervals. it needs to check sql tables and react to data found, send email and sms messages. i've tried using a loop but this only allows me to perform 1 check ie checking sql tables. the app needs to execute a method every x minutes. i tried using system threading but i got errors.

But the following error occurs:
"Error 1 Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types".

I am new to Visual Basics and I am using Visual Basic 2008 express. I have been using video tutorial on line to learn VB and they are great in explaining what is happening the code vs. just looking at code. I think from what little I can find I would be using StreamWriter WriteLine and StreamReader readLine .I am using a couple of forms. I am looking for simple basic code to use a form as a way of modifying timer intervals and store the values in a single text file on separate lines.
Description:
Form1: will contain the main code that will run. It will contain some timers. I want the timers to look in a text file for their intervals. Each timer would be on a different line.
Example:
Timer1 interval would be located on line 3
Timer2 interval would be located on line 6
Timer3 interval would be located on line 20
Form2: will contain 3 textboxes. This is where when I load form2 I will also read the same values from the text file to preload the text boxes. I will now be able to change the timer intervals as needed and press a button to update the text file. The update button will also reload the new timer settings on Form1. This is very similar to how a CNC Machine works with Parameter settings. This can be useful for storing many different settings for a form that a user can modify and be stored and reloaded next time the program runs.
