Visual Basic Advance Timer

[Al-Qaim]

Did you coded or experienced a timer with more then 60 seconds interval
or a timer with maximum cap limit ?

Here it all now :

Functions:-

1. Intervals 1 , 5 , 10 and 15 minutes
2. Maximum Timer Life 1 , 2 ,3 and infinity hours

Code:

Public Function StartTimer(bInterval As Double, Optional bMax As Double)
Dim MiliCounter  As Double, Infinity As Boolean
If bMax = 0 Then
Infinity = True
End If
mMax = bMax ‘Maximum Second , -1 for infinity
mInterval = bInterval ‘Interval Second
MiliCounter = -1 ‘bypass millisecods (timer is for seconds only)
StartTime = GetTickCount() ‘Get currunt system timer tick
Do While TimerEnabled = True
TimePassed = Int((GetTickCount() – StartTime) / 1000) ‘Convert to seconds
If Infinity = False Then
If TimePassed > mMax Then TimerEnabled = False ‘look for Maximum Second
End If
If (TimePassed Mod mInterval = 0) And (TimePassed > MiliCounter) Then
‘TimePassed Mod mInterval = 0   ‘look for Interval Second
‘TimePassed > MiliCounter       ‘look for next second
MiliCounter = TimePassed
‘/////////////Main Interval Code////////////
Debug.Print “time consumed “; TimePassed
Call InvokeIntervalEvent
‘///////////////////////////////////////////
End If
DoEvents
Loop
End Function

Call the function as This:
call StartTimer( 1 * 60, 1 * 3600)
i.e StartTimer for 60 sec intervel and 1 hour life

Happy Coding…
