Quicky Programming ?

**IntellaWorks** · 03-20-2005, 06:38 PM

Argh I was wondering if you guys could help me out here. I've ben stumbling over this code for a few hours and I'm willing to bet one of you have the anwser. Any help would be great !

ok, I'm using VB.Net and I for the life of me cannot convert this vb6 code:

Code:

Sub timeout(seconds As Double)
Dim total As Double
Dim current As Double
Dim X As Double

X = Timer

Do
DoEvents
current = Timer
total = current - X
Loop Until total > seconds



End Sub

What is "Timer" ???. Don't see it declared . Are you just trying to loop for a certain amout of time and still process events ?

VWmike, if your not familiar with VB6 then dont try to answer it....timer is the current cpu clock time

i think this is close

Imports System
Imports System.Threading

Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Sub timeout(ByVal seconds As Double)
Thread.Sleep(seconds * 1000)
End Sub

End Class

nope :-\ grrrrrr this is such an easy thing

**Peoples** · 03-20-2005, 08:35 PM

here it is exactly

Sub timeout(ByVal seconds As Double)
Dim x, current, Total As Double
x = Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime.Timer
Do
Application.DoEvents()
current = Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime.Timer
Total = current - x
Loop Until Total > seconds
End Sub
