Well, some companies install air bags in their cars while strongly requesting driver operation characteristics which never should require them. In other words, you CAN use your car's air bags, although you shouldn't.

If you want my real name, it is Scott Eaton, now what difference does that actually make? Going to Google me and attempt to track me down if you don't like my posts. Be my guest.

The Timer control that comes with VB6 is shut down automatically when you unload the form it is placed on! What you have to release/shut down are any system timers (API) or third party timer controls using API functions. Helmut.

It doesn't shut down until Form_Unload is finished executing. If there is code there that waits for something and calls DoEvents, Timer events will still fire, however, they don't fire if not calling DoEvents. Example: just place a Timer on Form1, and use the following code: Option Explicit Dim bExiting As Boolean Private Sub Form_Load() Timer1.Interval = 500 End Sub Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer) Dim t As Single bExiting = True ' 5 Seconds delay t = Timer Do While Timer - t < 5 DoEvents Loop End Sub Private Sub Timer1_Timer() If bExiting Then Debug.Print "Timer1_Timer called while bExiting is true" End If End Sub Output: Timer1_Timer called while bExiting is true Timer1_Timer called while bExiting is true Timer1_Timer called while bExiting is true Timer1_Timer called while bExiting is true Timer1_Timer called while bExiting is true Timer1_Timer called while bExiting is true Timer1_Timer called while bExiting is true Timer1_Timer called while bExiting is true Timer1_Timer called while bExiting is true Timer1_Timer called while bExiting is true

When did VB6 come out? (Mid 1998?) If you look at the date of the message, VB6 was either very new or not yet released! They must have been talking about VB5 or prior, for which the advice is still valid. So... backwards compatible and all that.... :-) LFS |
