Timer

[Anagno]

Hello all.
I am developing this program:
It has a form with a text box in which user types a number (minutes). Then, he press a button "Start" which counts backwards the interval minutes in the textbox (in seconds) and when the time ends the program does something that it isn't necessary to mention here.

I want to make this work without using Threads, it is working with Threads but it reserves 99% of my CPU !

Thank you in advance.

put the time in timer


in timer event write the code...

//here please disable the timer otherwise it will call again & again
Thread t = new System.Threading.Thread(new System.Threading.ParameterizedThreadStart(Doproces s));
t.IsBackground = true;
t.start();

I wrote a version using a timer control but the problem was that while counting backwards, the form couldn't be moved or even viewed!
Maybe this cannot work without using threads... ;-(
Unfortunately I am not familiar with this type of code (I support this program, it was not written by me).
I suppose that the code below is for threads.
If you could be more specific I would appreciate that.

Thank you in advance.
