    - How do you add a pause with the Timer control? How about using two timers? I know how to do it using Sleep, but can't figure out how it would work with the Timer control. I have a large application that "flips" digits in textboxes casino style, using the Sleep method. All the code for that procedure is in a button click event. However, if the user decides to click on a different button (to reset, or exit, etc.) it needs to wait for all the digits to finish flipping first. Here is some simple code I tried in a test program. The timer code doesn't work. It instantly displays the 9. The Sleep method does work. I have the Timer1.Interval set to 500. Private Sub Button1_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Timer1.Enabled = True For x As Integer = 1 To 9 TextBox1.Text = x.ToString Timer1.Start() TextBox1.Refresh() Timer1.Stop() Next Timer1.Enabled = False For x As Integer = 1 To 9 TextBox1.Text = x.ToString System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500) TextBox1.Refresh() Next End Sub Tag: Answer command prompt programmatically

    - PowerPoint event updating form Hi, I have a class that holds a reference to PowerPoint and captures the WindowChangeEvent. When that event happens that class in turn raises my own custom event to a form. The form has a reference to the class but not a direct reference to PowerPoint. When the form receives the custom event all it needs to do is clear a listbox. I know that the PowerPoint WindowSelectionChange event is being captured and in turn is raising the custom event, however the listbox.items.clear method causes strange behaviour - the listbox isn't cleared, the application doesn't crash, it just doesn't execute that command and exits the sub...so nothing happens. Is my approach causing the problem whereby a class capturing the PowerPoint event in turn raises an event on a form Thanks Tag: Answer command prompt programmatically

I am trying to answer a prompt in the command prompt window programmatically so the user does not see the prompt nor have to interact with it.

I have tried ECHO, but it does not put the text after the prompt.

Also, how do you add the text and continue -- that is, simulate pressing the ENTER key

I am totally new to this, so any ideas will help.

Thanks!

Sample:

ECHO [text to send]

Some programs, not all, will accept redirection (from

a batch file.)

In other words, say program zzz.com stops at

some point and wants a 'Y' or 'N' for an answer

and also an enter.

If you create a text file (Use notepad or similar,)

that is simply the letter 'Y' and a CRLF and

name it C:\Y.FIL.

Then in your batch file, you would say:

zzz < C:\y.fil

on one line.

Tip: To make quick short files from the command prompt

use a 'copy from console' command.

COPY CON C:\Y.FIL (Then hit enter)

(Type the complete file and then hit Ctrl-Z)
