Hi,
I was trying to do something in a Thread that starts by a
timer. I turn off the timer at the begining of the thread
incase it fires again when the thread is still running. Then
turn on the timer again before the thread finishes. To my
surprise, the timer never come alive again once it has been
turned of in the thread. To test the problem I made a simple
Windows Form project, put a Beep() in the timer. It supposed
to hear beep beep beep every one seconds, but can only hear
one. Here enclosed my clode below. Any help or suggestions are
really appreciated.
Regards,
Vincent

Hi Vincent,
There are 3 timers
windows.forms.f orm.timer
System.timers.t imer
System.threadin g.timer
The one you are using now is as far as I can see the
windows.forms.f orm.timer and I think not the one the most suitable for your
problem.

Thanks for your suggestion. The System.threadin g.timer works great! Just
curious, I also tried System.timers.t imer, that works as well.
Don't understand why the System.Windows. Forms.Timer has the strange
problem. Maybe it is by design, but why vb.net doesn't give a compile error
or warning something. I wonder if it does the same thing in C#.

You must access the timer from the thread that created the timer.

Hi Cor, windows.forms .form.timer
Whenever time is elapsed it puts an event in the message queue and
windows will work on one message after one. Suppose you have set timer
interval at 200ms there is not guarantee that it will come to ur
Timertick event at 200 ms
System.timers .timer
This runs on the forms thread and also has the accuracy of time so
timertick event will happen after 200 ms
System.thread ing.timer
This runs on a different thread but has the same functionlity as
systems.timer.t ime so we need to be careful while updating the form
variables as windows forms are not thread safe.

Vincent,
In addition to the others comments, the following recent articles in MSDN
Magazine explain the difference between the three thread objects in .NET &
when to use each. http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...T/default.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...3/default.aspx
Hope this helps
Jay
And yes, C# will exhibit the same basic behavior.
Hope this helps
Jay

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...

I and trying to detect idle time or sorts in the applications I'm

To do this the main Form also inherits from IMessageFilter and I
listen for WM_MOUSEMOVE. When that happens I reset a DateTime.
To check the time between last mouse move I have a timer
(System.Threading.Timer)
If the the DateTime math meets a certain threshold I want to show our
login dialog, essentially locking people out of this unattended app.
