Hi,
I have a timer on a form (System.Windows .Forms.Timer - Framework 1.1) that
is set to 60 seconds as sort an of inactivity monitor. If 60 seconds have
elapsed without any user activity I want the form to close. I stop/start
the timer at button clicks and keydown events etc of the various controls on
the form. Users have reported the form closing in the middle of them typing
or immediately after opening the form (but only rarely). (The timer is
design-time set to Enabled = false, Interval = 60000) I think I saw this
occur once during testing where an event fired that should have reset the
timer and about 15 seconds later the tick event fired. As a workaround
possibly I am going to store the time of the last reset so that I can
compare to the time when the tick event fires (ie if only 15 seconds have
elapsed instead of 60 then don't do anything). This of course won't help if
rather than a timer failure, its the keydown and other events that are not
firing. Any similiar experiences or other suggestions for monitoring
inactivity (such as using the thread timer).
Regards,
Dan

On your keydown / mouseevents are you calling your timer to stop? reset the
interval, and start again? (reseting the interval isn't important really..)

Hi Dan,
When I was you I just would check my reset procedure setting the times
something more narrow.
But I would never use a thread timer, that one I could until now not reset.
(It goes direct in his own thread when it start and fires even if the
program is ended).
For this I find the forms timer the nicest.
Just my thought,

I have a problem where I cannot read (all the time) a file when caught by
the FileSystemWatcher. What I have done to get past this is create an array
of events (when I receive one I add it to the list). I then enable a timer
which will attempt to process the first one in the list.
The timer code is never executed. There is a handles clause on the timer
and using the debugger I have watched the code for the FileSystemWatcher

I have a puzzling form timer problem that I didn't experience prior to

Here's the situation: a computer has two access 2003 databases on it, a
frontend and a backend.
Case 1: If vba code on the frontend updates many rows (360,000) on the
backend, a form's timer event (from the frontend) will stop firing until the
user gives the form focus. (Note that the update itself always...

I have a timer on a form. It isn't firing at all. I know that the timer is
enabled, and that the interval is low (4000, which should be 4 seconds). To
ensure the timer wasn't being inadvertantly reset I put some extra code in
the subs that enable and disable the timer. They fire as expected.
To test this I added a second timer with a 1 second interval. The event for
this time would output the enabled status of the first timer and its...

I have a timer enabled on a form with an interval of 200. I place a break
point on the first line in the timer tick event, which is a try. After a
few events go on, the timer seems to stop. My break point is no longer hit.
In the debugger, the timer shows enabled and the interval is still set.
Any ideas what may be happening or something else I can check?
Thanks,

I have a class that instantiates two Timer objects that fire at
different intervals. My class can be instantiated within a Windows
Form or from a Windows Service. Actions performed by one of the event
handlers may take longer than the interval for either of the timers,
so it's possible for multiple events to fire "simultaneously" and for
events to queue up. I'm attempting to get the timers to sync on some
reference type object, or use...

Note that although this involves SAPI, it is more a question about Timers
and event handlers.
I wrote a Speech Recognize handler (SAPI), and put some code in it to enable
a Timer. It would not do it. If I bring this same code outside this event
handler, it works just fine.
Is this normal?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
