Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRx.Click
    Timer1.Interval = 1000
    Timer1.Enabled = True
    'Do something if they respond ???
    '
    'If they respond in time turn off the timer?
    Timer1.Enabled = False
End Sub
 
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
    MessageBox.Show("Times Up!", "Timer")
End Sub

Something similar to this.

add a timer at design time, click on it and in properties set the interval to 1000 (milliseconds= 1 second).

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Timer1.Enabled = True
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        MsgBox("boo")
        Timer1.Enabled = False
    End Sub

But if they respond in the time allotted then the timer will still fire.

But if they respond in the time allotted then the timer will still fire.

putting code in that commented area in button_click wont do anything unless he has an infinite loop, which is inefficient anyways

True , but I didnt know what other actions the poster had in place while he was waiting for a response.
Like an event for entering text in a textbox and pressing another button?

hi Everybody

Thanks for the reply.....i'm have actually written a download process after the Timer1.Enabled = True and i wanted the timer to turn off if the download process complete on time.............but now.....i get this error "Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable"......what does this mean? can any 1 tell me this? thank u very much



Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRx.Click
Timer1.Interval = 1000
Timer1.Enabled = True

'Do something if they respond ???
'
' If they respond on time turn off the timer

Timer1.Enabled = False

End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
MessageBox.Show("Time out !!", "Timer")
End Sub
End Class

that's probably because you copy/pasted the code hehe
You need to declare a variable first before you can reference an event for it. You can either do it manually, which I dont think would be easy for you..... .or

umm do this: you probably already have the button so the error should be from the timer. In design view of your form, add a TIMER control to your form and then double click on the timer. VS.NET will automatically generate the code for Timer_Tick event for you. Then you can put your timer code in there.
