closing and opening a program every 30 minutes

[Shailesh Patel]

Hi There:
I need to close a program running in my vb application and open it again
after 30 minutes. This process keeps going until needed. i.e one program
calls other program every 30 minutes.
Any help about coding is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Shailesh

Shailesh:

Some months ago I wrote a tip of the month that I call 'Use Function
'DoneRecently' to Schedule '. Link to http://www.buygold.net/tips then look
for the October 2001 tip of the month. A sample program is provided. From
the tip intro:

A common news group question goes something like:

The VB timer's interval is limited to about one second (65,535
milliseconds). How do I run an application that wakes up twice a day to
perform a scheduled function?

Last year I wrote a function I call 'DoneRecently' which uses a duration
and a last done time. It returns True only when the last done date/time plus
the duration is greater than the current time. You could use this function
to write a routine that 'wakes-up' every so often and performs some
scheduled task. So the function 'DoneRecently' becomes the tip-of-the-month.


Cheers,
Larry Rebich

Hello Shailesh
You could use the TIME control and set it to 30 minutes, I think you know
what I am talking about, if you need details, call..

Hi Shailesh,

There are lots of ways to extend the limitation of 65 secs of the Timer control.

This is a sample showing how to increase the limitations of the Timer control.
This way you multiply Timer1.Intervall by the value of z.

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

Static z As Integer

If z >= 10 Then
'Put your timer event code here...
Call MyExtendedTimerJustFired()
z = 0
Else
z = z + 1
End If

End Sub

Here's another sample for doing something once a day;

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

'Timer1.Interval can be set to anything (as high as possible)...
'TrigNext is module level Date type preset to a date and time...

If TrigNext <= Now() Then
'Add another day to TrigNext
TrigNext = DateAdd("d", 1, TrigNext)
'Put your timer event code here...
Call MyDailyTimerJustFired()
End If

End Sub

Regards

Bernie
