Wpf - For Each Loop Doesn't Sleep
Nov 1, 2011
I have a For..Each loop which loops trough all grid's rectangles and changes the fill of them randomly. I change the fill with a color animation. Here's my code:
Dim rand as new random
Dim changeColor As New Animation.ColorAnimation
changeColor.Duration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5)
[code]....
The problem is that the loop doesn't sleep. I want to trigger the animation, then wait until the rectangle fill is changed and then continue with the rest, but it seems that all of the rectangles fill are changed in the same time.

i have a web browser control, that refreshes pages on a loop after calling a few subs, i need to create a delay in the loop so that the page has a chance to refresh and redisplay before it loops again. i tried the code below, but it seemed to freeze the entire form, elements including, so the web browser didnt refresh before the loop, so how could i create a non form-freezing delay for a loop?
For count = 1 To 20
WebBrowser1.Navigate("URL")
simcheckcheck()

Currently I'm using System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) to let my app pause/sleep for some time. This works great but I can't open my app anymore when it's sleeping and it uses about 25% of my CPU. I guess there must be a better way to do this. I also tried using a timer but that didn't work out to well for me..

I'm making a rock paper scissors program and once I set the current_scene variable to 1, the MainLoop() sub doesn't keep looping, but the sub doesn't exit either. (Form1.vb is the most important file.)

For some reason, it seems that the outer block doesn't seem to update recursively, as I expected it to. I want the loops to add all directories within "C:UsersDrise"to the array internaldirs(). Any advice on the correct way to do this, as it seems I'm doing it improperly?
Static internaldirs() As String
internaldirs.add("C:UsersDrise")
For Each internaldir As String In internaldirs

I have the following code [code] This loop takes sometimes up to a minute to execute. I would like to display a message box giving the user the option of terminating the loop. When I use ShowDialog the loop doesn't execute until DialogResult is returned. When I use Show, the forms buttons are not accessible until do loop is finished. How can I make this work?

is there anyway to sleep a thread for a "tick". i.e. the tick in StopWatch.ElapsedTick. right now the best i could achieve is this thread.sleep(1). i need it faster

I am rather irritated at this. I have no clue why looping through controls on a form and in groupboxes leaves out 75% of the controls.
Here's the code I have:
Dim settings As String = ""
Dim gbControl As Control
Dim gbbox As Control
[Code]....
I want to have setting save all settings to an ini file, and not have to reprogram the saving routine when I add a group box or control. At random times, any number of controls can be disabled, checkboxes can be checked and unchecked, radiobuttons can be checked and unchecked. Regardless of the state of the control, I want the control to show up in the loop. But they don't. Only controls that are enabled and only checkboxes that are checked, every other control state is ignored. That's crap, and is definitely not what is needed by any programmer of any type. We're capable of determining if a control is enabled, hidden, checked, visible, and otherwise.
How do I get the controls to be included in the loop regardless of their state?

Makes the following statement about the code below:
**"The computer evaluates the loop condition in the Do...Loop statment to determine whether the loop instructions should be processed. In this case, the inputsales <> String.Empty condition compares the contenst of the input sales variable to the String.Empty value. As you know the String.Empty value represents a zero length, or empty, string if the inputsales variable is empty, the loop condition evaluates to True and the computer process the loop instructions. *If on the other hand the inputsales variable is not empty, the loop condition evaluates to false and the computer skips over the loop instructions.
Based on the code I think it is the opposite: ...that while the inputsales value is not empty it should evaluate to true and process the loop and if it is empty it should evaluate to false and skip the loop?
See below.
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On

I use Visual Studio 2003, VB.net, NetFramework 1.4 and Windows XP I have been using the following Code Snippet for a number of years in both Web Services and Windows Applications. However suddenly around the 29th September 2010 it has stopped sending E-Mails from both Web Services and Windows Applications. The same problem has happened not only to my own Network but on two other Networks, one using XP as its Server and the other using Server 2003. All 3 of these are using different ISPs.

I have a multi-threaded report engine application. I know that if I want to pause a thread for an interval I can use Thread.Sleep. What I need however, is to be able to suspend the entire process including all threads for a set period of time. In the past, I've used the Sleep API from kernel32.
It appears though that it's only "sleeping" my current thread and not the entire process which is not what I expected (now that I've read the documentation I realize that Thread.Sleep is probably the managed implementation of this API which is why it behaves as it does). So, my question, how do I force the entire application (and all of its threads) to pause the for the interval and not just the thread calling it? Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Int32)

I know there is always better ways of doing things. Normally when you create a thread and I want it to pause/sleep for a set amount of time I use the <Object>.Sleep(1000) but this is frowned upon in .Net2+.

Is there is way to delay loops without using (Sleep or timer) in VB
Because on java you cant do something like this
For(i = 0; i< 100; i++) {
Event.Wait(3000)
Animate(i);
}
I dont want to use sleep because your control is dead while is at sleep And using timer waste memory and process timer plus more coding is needed!

To start off with, I will say that I have tried ENDLESS attempts to surpress/capture/stop the actual sleep keystroke.
The code cannot require administrator privilege's. .
I tried:
Private Overrides Sub ProcessCmdKey, and Return true when the sleep key is pressed - did not disable sleep key LowLevelKeyboard - One that can disable the windows logo key - did not disable sleep key And many other keyhandling events, etc.
The code cannot create registry keys because that requires admin privilege's.

I have a frm_Main, which starts a thread. The thread then goes and calls a module, which has a thread.sleep() in it. This causes the mouse to freeze up while it sleeps, despite being called by the child thread. I thought this would have be on the thread time-slice? However it is causing my form to freeze for the sleep duration.
