Timer

[DCStudios]

I need some help on a program that I'm planning to make. I need to use some kind of timer to perform a task every X minutes. First, I'll use the InputBox to ask how often to refresh. Then take the users variable and use

wWeb.Refresh

to refresh the page every so often the user typed in the inputbox. Thank you for all your replies!

heres a little something...

'timer interval is 5000 here, which is 5 seconds
Dim MyTimer as New System.Timers.Timer(5000)
 
'In Form Load, add this
AddHandler MyTimer.Elapsed, AddressOf TimerFired
 
'Add this sub to handle the event
'Fires after each Timer interval, in this case, every 5 seconds
Public Sub TimerFired(ByVal sender As Object, _
      ByVal e As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs)
 
      wWeb.Refresh
 
End Sub
 
'Remember to start the timer when you want with the following code...
MyTimer.Enabled = True
MyTimer.Start()
'To disable and stop the timer, change the enabled property
MyTimer.Enabled = False
