[Help]Thread.Sleep alternative[Solved]

Hi.

as you know , sleep freeze everything in the application.

i need the same thing but not freezing everything.

because im making something for msn.

my code in timer1 is ( interval 2000 )

Code:

sendkeys.send(richtextbox1.text)
sendkeys.send(textbox2.text)
sleep(2000)
sendkeys.send(F8)

my code in timer2 is ( interval 350 )

Code:

Randomize()
TextBox2.Text = CStr(Int(Rnd() * 999))

the problem is after " sendkeys.send(richtextbox.text) " the whole application freeze for 2 sec ( 2000ms ) so my timer2 stop generating random number and it send over 2 time the same number

what can i do ??

thx

First thing that I don't understand. Why are you using two timers, when you can do this just by using 1 ??

The easy solution would be to put this code before sending the keys:

Code:

Randomize()
TextBox2.Text = CStr(Int(Rnd() * 999))

Because Timer2 has nothing to do with sending, means the timer1 will send the keys of the text written in textbox2. So, its a better solution. Also put this code before sleep(2000):

Code:

Application.DoEvents()

This causes the application to perform events even if the program hangs !!

Nextgen1 wrote some piece of custom sleeping. If my method doesn't help you, you can ask him for that !!

Regards

ok thanks ill try this.

why 2 timer ? ANSWER : timer 1 is for sendkey at 2000ms i cant make it faster ( reliability )
timer 1 is generating new number each 350ms. i will have other timer that will use random number too but with different interval ( 7000 ) so i keep it a 350 so that way anything using it get new number

.

anywya thx ill give you news about it.

ok so i tryed.
nothing change.

the sleep still freeze the whole app.

see the new project i amde just to try it

Code:

Imports System.Threading.Thread
Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        Randomize()
        TextBox1.Text = CStr(Int(Rnd() * 999))
        Application.DoEvents()
        Sleep(1000)
    End Sub

    Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
        Randomize()
        TextBox2.Text = CStr(Int(Rnd() * 99999))
    End Sub
End Class

NextGen1: OutSide Link Removed.

both timer set to 100 ms

still freeze whole app so the Random 2 sleep with the Random 1

yes for this one i could have used only 1 timer but my other project realy need more timer .

ok i found wht thing you was talking about

Code:

Private Sub Sleep(ByVal PauseTime As Double)

        Dim Tind As Int16
        For Tind = 1 To PauseTime / 50
            Threading.Thread.Sleep(50)
            Application.DoEvents()
        Next

    End Sub

dont seem to work.

So you got a interval of 2000 why do you then let it sleep again?

I don't get that part...

if i dont sleep it it keep sending it again and again and again and again non-stop = huge ressource or crash. so i need to pose it a bit then he restart himself after 2 second

My pc/program does not even crash with a interval of 50 without sleep....

Well, I tried it on msn too and it was working fine. nvm then...

Ya, works perfect for me too, may be you have an issue with your MSN !!

That's My code from the snippets from the snippets Vault and it works fine

what you have to do is use

Sleep(2000)

I have tested it, and so has a few others
