Scheduling Tasks

[Zach_VB6]

Take a look at JMcIlhinney's thread on adding a pause to your code, if used properly you can do exactly what you're wanting to do:

Run task 1
Pause -x- time
Run task 2
Pause -y- time
Run task 3
Pause -z- time
etc.

The way that he structured the code, doesn't block the UI and it doesn't use a 'busy wait', which by the way Thread.Sleep will block the UI.

Thank you for the link. Not sure how to "trigger" the start of the ITask object.

I think a very important question needs to be answered first: Do you want these ITask implementers to be able to start themselves ? Or do you intend to have a collection based object that takes ITask objects and start them when its their time ?

I think it would be better if I created a TaskHandler class that handled the collection of ITask objects and would start/stop them appropriately. I think the TaskHandler class should also "paint"/display the current schedule to the user

Is there a control that would be well suited for a scheduling type thing?
