[RESOLVED] Setting a timer for ActiveX User control button to calculate pulse

[potatocake]

Hi,
Does anyone know how to program a timer set to 0-500ms that will start counting when a button is pressed down, therefore executing the code for that button. After 500miliseconds the button will switch off and the timer would reset again and be ready for the next button to be pressed. If the timer has already started by pressing one button and has not finished to 500ms and another button is pressed, would like it to interrupt the timer and reset it again.

If anyone could help me, would be much appreciated.

Hi Dave,
With the code you created, how do i display the timer's time on a form?
And I tried setting it up as well, but got a compile error with the following line:

Private WithEvents m_Timer As CountDownTimer

Maybe Im setting it up wrong, please advise..
thanks alot

It won't show the time as it's counting down. It just raises friendly Events.

The code I posted - it needs to be in a Class module.

Yup have put it in a class module same error.

What do you put on the form? Is it 2 buttons and a timer?

[Dave Sell]

2 Buttons, named:

- cmdIncrement
- cmdIncrement10

The top of the form should have:

Option Explicit
'
Private WithEvents m_Timer As CountDownTimer
'

There is ni timer on the form.

Hey Dave,

Have setup a form that has your code with your instructions and it still has the same error. Have attached it for you to have a look

Ya you need to name the class module, CountDownTimer
