How to use the Timer from System.Windows.Forms.Timer
There a many ways to do things. Today, let�s try to use the timer control. The timer control is more like a countdown function. Is simple and doesn�t slow down your application. In fact, it runs a new thread in background.
For this example, create a new project as a Windows Forms Applications. Double-click the Timer from the tool box. This will insert the Timer1.
Now, the first thing you should do it to take a look at the code here.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Timer1.Interval = 1000 Timer1.Enabled = True Timer1.Start() End Sub Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick Me.Text = Date.Now End Sub End Class |
The first function initiates the Timer1 and set some values. The interval is the period. If the interval is a 1000, the interval is set a 1 seconds. You see? The units are in milliseconds.
Then, make sure to enable your timer. By default, is set to false. Make sure is set to true if you want the timer to work.
Finally, use the start button to start the count down.
At 1000 milliseconds, the program triggers the event and calls the function Timer1. Inside that function, place anything you want.
In this example, I made a simple clock.
This is very interesting if you need a timer in a little code in Excel or Word. Use it for simple program too.
