[VB6] - why these code can't be used more than once?

i buid these code for try build 1 timer with 1ms of precision:

Code:

---

Private Sub WaitMs(ByVal ms As Long) 'wait a given number of milliseconds
    Dim t As Currency
    Dim f As Currency
    Dim e As Currency
    Dim i As Long
   
    On Error Resume Next
    Do
        f = 0
        t = 0
        e = 0
        QueryPerformanceFrequency f  'get number of counts/second
        t = f * ms / 1000# 'multiply f by number of seconds to get number of counts to wait
        QueryPerformanceCounter e  'get current count number
        e = e + t  'add number of counts to wait to current count
        'API_DoEvents
        Do
            QueryPerformanceCounter t
            If t > e Then
                RaiseEvent Timer
                API_DoEvents
                Exit Do  'wait for current count to exceed e
            End If
        Loop
        If blnTimer = False Then Exit Do
    Loop
End Sub

---

these code works fine. i put in an activex control and stills works. but why i can't use 2 controls in same form(in same application not tested)?
i have tested and i see that 1 timer stills works but the other not or chage it(the 1st timer is desactivated and the 2nd timer is actived)

the best way is use 1 array, in these sub.

Code:

---

Private Sub WaitMs(ByVal ms As Long) 'wait a given number of milliseconds
    Dim t As Currency
    Dim f As Currency
    Dim e As Currency
    Dim i As Long
   
    On Error Resume Next
    Do
        f = 0
        t = 0
        e = 0
        QueryPerformanceFrequency f  'get number of counts/second
        t = f * ms / 1000# 'multiply f by number of seconds to get number of counts to wait
        QueryPerformanceCounter e  'get current count number
        e = e + t  'add number of counts to wait to current count
        'API_DoEvents
        Do
            QueryPerformanceCounter t
            If t > e Then
                i = 1
                Do While i < 3
                    'lngTimer(1)=1ms
                    'lngTimer(2)=1000
                    If e Mod lngTimer(i) = 0 Then
                        RaiseEvent Timer(i)
                        DoEvents
                    End If
                    i = i + 1
                Loop
                Exit Do
            End If
        Loop
        If blnTimer = False Then Exit Do
    Loop
End Sub

and works... but why the 2nd timer works, only, sometimes?
isn't the if condicition correct?

finally i found something:

Code:

---

        Do
            QueryPerformanceCounter t

                    If e * 1000 Mod tmrcontrol.Interval = 0 And tmrcontrol.Enabled = True Then
                        PostMessage tmrcontrol.hwnd, WM_KEYDOWN, 1000, 0

                    End If

        Loop
        If blnTimer = False Or Extender.Enabled = False Then Exit Do
    Loop
End Sub

Public Function hwnd() As Long
    hwnd = UserControl.hwnd
End Function

the 2 timers controls works. but for disable i need click 2 times in same command(that disable both).
i belive that the bug is in for each...in..next... or even the variable. can anyone advice me?

Try removing that DoEvents in your loop

i try that, but can "block" the program and vb6.... what i mean is that i can't use it and for close it i must do ctrl+alt+delete(combination keys)
