    Question Threading problem - resolved

    I am creating a new thread in my form1 class.

    I am counting down a timer, the thread starts when the timer stops and plays an alarm sound. I have a "snooze" button, well, I think you understand what I'm trying to accomplish.

    When I start the thread, all goes well, I can stop it also with "threadname.abort", but this kills it so I cannot restart the thread. If I use "suspend", the program throws an exception claiming the thread is not running, but I know it is, it plays a sound in a loop. Any suggestions to better handle this?

    What about using the static Sleep() method :

    VB Code:
    1. Thread.Sleep(millseconds)

    Resolved .... I suspend the thread, then when I need to restart it, I use an if statement to check its status using "isAlive", if true I resume instead of start.

    All is well ....
