You could also use the stopwatch which sounds more like what you want?

Answer 5

There are 4 actual timers:

1. dispatcher timer
2. windows forms timer
3. system time
4. threading timer

and some call even a stopwatch a timer. 

Maybe you understand that your question is more a problem for us than probably for you.

Good catch.  :)  I was obviously thinking of Stopwatch.

haha its OK to say "hey dumb-dumb, that's code for a stopwatch"  :)

(well, I guess its not OK to include the "dumb-dumb" part, even if I deserve it)  ;)

I'm guessing that you have the timer set up as a "one-shot" timer, like this?

Option Strict On
Option Explicit On
Option Infer Off

Public Class Form1
    Private WithEvents tmr As Timer

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, _
                           e As System.EventArgs) _
                           Handles MyBase.Load

        tmr = New Timer _
            With {.Interval = 1000, _
                  .Enabled = True}

    End Sub



    Private Sub _
        tmr_Tick(sender As Object, _
                 e As System.EventArgs) _
                 Handles tmr.Tick

        tmr.Enabled = False

        ' Rest of your code here

    End Sub
End Class

In that one, at the end of one second, the .Tick event is raised and immediately the timer is disabled (so it stops there).

If that's what you have then setting .Enabled = True will start it over again.

Is that what you have or am I missing it?

Well I suppose the number it stop has something to do with a variable in the Timers code. I suppose that would be a global variable. Therefore reset the global variable back to whatever it should be reset to.

Other than that you either need to explain better or display your code so we can see what you are refering to. And if you are going to display your code please insert it into a Code Block in your post where you want to display it. Insert Code Block is to the right of the letters HTML in a post you are editing in the menu strip at the top of the window.

Answer 10

I got around this by using a timer set to 1 second intervals, for each time the timer fired I incremented a public counter which I reset to 0 when as a form of reset.  In my program I performed my action when my public counter was greater than maxcount.  Just an alternative solution as I hit the same problem. :)
