Load form on time

Marvin kakuru

Hi all,
Ope your all aright. i trying to get my form1 to load about 30 seconds after i click on the button with the code

" form1 form = new form1();"
" form.show();"

is there code to set time so that form doesnt load immediately but after some time like 20 - 30 - 40 seconds
thanks.

Hey Marvin kakuru,

You can do it very easily by using Thread.Sleep(int miliseconds) method before showing the Form1.

For this you need to System.Threading Class

e.g.
using System.Threading;

//your code

Form1 form=new Form1();
Thread.Sleep(10000); //1000 miliseconds = 1 second
form.Show();

//your code

Well, if the user can't do anything else in the meantime, then you can use:

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(20000); // 20 seconds delay

Otherwise you could use a timer with its Interval property set to 20000 or whatever.

You can then add a handler for its Tick event by double clicking on the Timer in the VS designer:

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
timer1.Stop();
form1 form = new form1();
form.Show();
}

In your button click, you'll also need to start the timer:

timer1.Start();
