Is there a way to create a timer with VisualBasic? I've tried, and see no way so far

VB.Net? or Vb6? I'm pretty sure that both have a timer control in the toolbox though....

VB 2005 express edition I think. There's an updated version?
EDIT: w00t, it has the timer button too. I was thinking I'd have to code it...
EDIT EDIT: And looks like I do

So I added the timer from the toolbox. Anything else to it?

What do you want to do with it?

The timer will be shown in the little box towards the bottom of the designer page, and double click the timer, to put in your code there. If you know what you want it to do and you don't know how to do it then just tell us here, I'll try to help you.

I need a simple timer, with buttons to start and stop, for timing things, possibly things that I wish to time with a timing timer to time with

I bet Dos Mes doesn't know this

For timing things you need to use another timer.The regular one is 7 milli secs off.

Eh no big problem there. It's 7 milliseconds. Who will notice?

Is it really? Very weird! How'd you figure that out Pat?

I think he mentions it in the starter videos somewhere...

*Cough*

I don't believe I ever watched any of those...

Those tutorials are very good for beginners.

One month bump.. Oh well, I might as well somehow help for anyone else that will ever need the same thing...

System.Timers.Timer class

C# example:

Code: Select all

    class Program {
        static void Main(string[] args) {
            System.Timers.Timer tmr = new System.Timers.Timer();
            tmr.Interval = 1000;
            tmr.Elapsed += new System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(tmr_Elapsed);
        }
        static void tmr_Elapsed(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e) {
            //do something
        }
    }

Sorry, but I don't do VB, and you should be able to make some changes or just use this as an example in your app.
