timer trouble

HI i have the following code

VB Code:

timer1.enabled = False
'a bit of code
timer1.enabled = True

this executes the code between the timer1, every time its interval is up, so to say.

I want to disable this timer when a button is pressed and enable it again, when another is pressed....

to disable it had

VB Code:

Private Sub command1.click ()
 
timer1.enabled = False
 
End Sub
 
' and to enable it again i had
 
Private Sub command1.click ()
 
timer1.enabled = True
 
End Sub

This didn't work as i have already enabled it in another part of the code

Any Thoughts

You have to disable it if you don't want it to fire. There is no problem with enabling the timer twice. See this code.

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
 Timer1.Interval = 5000
 Timer1.Enabled = True
 MsgBox ""
 Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
  Beep
End Sub

I think you misunderstand me, i want to disable the timer when i press a command button nut the code i have in post1 is not working?

You had it right:

VB Code:

Timer1.Enabled = False

will disable the timer.

Yes i know that but its not disabling the timer......

I have it thanks

I found this code on the forum and it wrks great in the Click Event of a Command Button:

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
      Timer1.Enabled = Not Timer1.Enabled
End Sub

Every time the Command button is clicked the enable property will be toggled. Great idea for the person who can up with this idea. :thumb: :thumb:
