Need some help here~~

I'm using vb and I did a little test on the key press time (the time we press down a key until we release it). i did this, it works.

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown

        'Start the first stopWatch.
        sw1.Start()

End Sub

    Private Sub TextBox1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyUp

        'Turn off the first stopWatch.
        sw1.Stop()

        sec = sw1.ElapsedMilliseconds
           
   End Sub

Next, i tried to count the time gap between 2 key press.
Something like : Key up, stopwatch start. Next keydown, stopwatch stop.
i found out that the system can't make it start from keyup then go to keydown.

i tried this but it didn't work.

dim counter_one as integer=0
dim counter_two as integer=0

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown


        counter_two +=1

       if counter_two>=2 then

       sw1.stop()

        sec = sw1.ElapsedMilliseconds

        end if
        

    End Sub



    Private Sub TextBox1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyUp

counter_one +=1

if counter_one>=1 then
sw1.start()
end if

        

   End Sub

Anyone has idea how to do it?

Thanks!!

Hi Rachel,

You really need this one in the VB.Net forum so more people can see this and help you.

What is your end goal with this, what are you trying to accomplish with your program here please?
