can this be a problem? the do..something part runs on another thread which eventually calls the enabletimersub() so the main timer.tick() thread and enabletimersub() are on different threads. is there any solution for this sub timer.tick() timer.stop() [or timer.enabled=false] do...something end sub sub enabletimersub() timer.enabled = true [or timer.start()] end sub sorry for the delay in telling this point Show quoteHide quote "Jared Parsons [MSFT]" <jared***@online.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:61f143b4ce68c86e5bc88b419b@msnews.microsoft.com... > Hello Ratnesh, > >> when i call start or enabled=true. nothing happens in any case. but >> the tick >> event doesnt fire after the interval. >> i've also tried to toggle the enabled property and didnt use Stop() >> still no luck. i dont know whats wrong. >> its like this >> sub timer.tick() >> timer.stop() [or timer.enabled=false] >> do...something >> enabletimersub() >> end sub >> sub enabletimersub() >> timer.enabled = true [or timer.start()] >> end sub > > Can you post a code snippet that reproduces the issue? > > -- > Jared Parsons [MSFT] > jared***@online.microsoft.com > All opinions are my own.

i found that too. but i m not sure how to use it. cna u show me in the snippet or give me any weblink for the help??

bcoz the control doesnt seem to have the .invoke() method. i m running timer in the Main module. which calls another class as a saperate thread. thnx Show quoteHide quote "Jared Parsons [MSFT]" <jared***@online.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:61f143b51108c86efdf663197e@msnews.microsoft.com... > Hello Ratnesh, > >> is it possible to do the same thing , If the timer control is in like >> class module and not on any form. > > You'll need a reference to a control on the foreground thread.

i have the normal windows.forms.timer control. i've Main module with SubMain and this timer and few other things like contextmenu, trayicon etc now on timer.tick i m calling another class function on seperate thread. on end of that thread i want to start timer again. the problem is, if it was a form i could've called the invoke method simply. but here i dont know how to implement this. this is tray application, so it only stays in tray. thnx Show quoteHide quote "Jared Parsons [MSFT]" <jared***@online.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:61f143b53298c86f1cc51ac857@msnews.microsoft.com... > Hello Ratnesh, > >> can you explain how? >> bcoz the control doesnt seem to have the .invoke() method. >> i m running timer in the Main module. which calls another class as a >> saperate thread. > > Is control an instance of System.Windows.Forms.Conrol?

On the main thread (the one where you originally created the timers), addd the following lines mySharedControl = New Control() mySharedControl.CreateControl() Since mySharedControl is a shared field you can access it from your background method and use it to invoke back into the foreground thread. -- Jared Parsons [MSFT] jared***@online.microsoft.com All opinions are my own.
