forcefully stop timer tick event

Question

4.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

i have two timers
timer1 is slow , tick time of 1 min
while timer2 needs to be extremely fast , tick time of 10 milliseconds

each have separate tick time

now in i have created a button to stop all working and it should also stop timer from working

but as timer1 tick time is 1 min , i have to wait until 1 min till timer really stops

also the problem is some times code in timer2 tick event can not be complete in 10 milliseconds so whole event is overlapping . it's fine overlapping in working but if i press stop button then all overlapped timer events also must be stopped

how to do this ?

Have you used "Timer.Enabled" property to stop timer ?

Proper way to do it, nice.
But IMO Timer.Stop() [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timers.timer.stop.aspx] would suit better.

timer1.stop
timer2.stop

This should do it. If you're still getting one last timer event firing after that, then try setting a public boolean to false in your button, and then check for it in the beginning of your timer events. If it's false (or whatever you set it to look for), then exit the timer event.

Hi,

AFAIK you can directly stop a timer using Timer.Stop[^].
Of course, this solution supposes that you have direct access to your timer object from the button code.
But even when you have to wait 1 min, what is the problem?
The timer ain't does nothing until the tick event comes up.

cheers,
Marco
