Avi,

If the timer is on the same form, why not take the code in the event
handler for the form, and place it in a method. Then, you can have your
timer fire, and call that method every time it fires.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I have a periodic problem which I am having a real time trying to sort. Background: An MDI VB app with a DB on SQL 2000. I have wrapped all the DB access into an object which spawns a thread to access the database and then displays a modal dialog which allows the user to cancel the task, if it is taking longer than they want, and shows them a display of how long the query has been running so far.

Hi. I have created a 'stop watch' program. The working principle of the program is to declare an integer (say 'intTime'), which is initalized to zero. Once the user clicks the 'Start' button, the Timer component (the one found at System.Windows.Forms.Timer) starts ticking (with this code: Timer.Enabled = True). Whenever the timer ticks, 'intTime' is inclemented by 1 and this updated number is displayed on the form. The interval of the...

I have a windows application written using VB .NET that encompasses a countdown timer modal dialog. The timer is a System.Timers.Timer with an interval of 1 second. AutoReset is not set so accepts the default of True. The Elapsed event handler updates the dialog box with how long before it will close, acting as a timer itself. The dialog has a time to close property which is checked every time the Elapsed event fires. The problem I have...

Unaccountably, I cannot re-enable a timer from an background thread. The disable works fine, I just cannot get it to start back up. There is no method "InvokeRequired" like there is for windows.forms.controls and I get no error message about cross thread so I am not sure where the problem is. I have a "SerialPoll_timer" that every second requests status from a device on an RS232 port. I use this to determine if the device is on line. ...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
