help with timer

[akmaggot666]

Hallo

Just need the variable to get the action sleep for defined time written in 'textbox3.text'


Dim x As Integer = 1
Dim i As Integer = 0

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
For Me.x = 1 To 10

TextBox2.Text = TextBox1.Text & Me.i

If Me.x > 0 Then
'do something
' HERE SHOULD BE THE VARIABLE TO GET THE WHOLE ACTION SLEEP FOR TIME (textbox3.text)
End If

I have no idea what you mean by "get the action sleep"

[akmaggot666]

it should pause for 6sec every loop, but not freeze, just do nothing 6 sec

What's the difference between "do nothing" and "freeze"? If it's not frozen then it is doing something, right?

<-- comment deleted by mod -->

and specially for u, freeze ( app not responding, flattering etc.), 'do nothing' (waiting for some time to do something)
One guy post on other forum, '' u want to freeze ur app, is that what u wanna do ?''
I dont wanna pause the program

looks like you should try an anger managment forum

When you put your app to sleep it does nothing which means it is frozen.

You would use a timer to make something happen at given intervals, sleep to halt execution for a given interval

You can but should not use a busy loop to cause your code to not go past the loop for a given time but again this will effectively freeze your app unless you have a doevents in there and that will allow other stuff to happen so that does not sound like what you want.

In the future you should try to give the best description possible of what you are trying to do and do not insult other members of the forum.
