Call One button from another Button with delay in VB.NET












-2















I have Button1 with this code:



Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles    Button1.Click

Label2.Text = ""
Label3.Text = ""
Label4.Text = ""

End Sub


and want to call button1 when click on button2 with delay, for example when clicked on button2 after 20 seconds apply button1.



in button2 code:



 Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles      Button2.Click

Button1_Click(sender, e)
Label6.Text = ""
End Sub


how can I make it with delay of time so first clear label6.text then after delay clear labe2 and 3 and 4.

  • Do avoid "calling a button". Use a timer, its Tick event can call a private method that the button's Click event handler can use as well. Do consider if you still need the button, it is not likely.

As Hans pointed out avoid calling another button. Create a private sub that both buttons can use. Then use a timer for the 20 second delay. Something like this:



'Declare a timer with a tick rate of 20 seconds
Dim Timer As New Timer With {.Interval = 20000}
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
ClearLabels2To4()
End Sub

'Create this as a separate sub, so it can be used by both buttons.
Private Sub ClearLabels2To4()
Label2.Text = ""
Label3.Text = ""
Label4.Text = ""
End Sub

Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
ClearLabels2To4()
'Start the 20 second timer
Timer.Start()
End Sub

Private Sub Timer_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Label6.Text = ""
'Stop the timer so it doesn't continually fire every 20 seconds
Timer.Stop()
End Sub

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
'Create a handler for the timer ticks
AddHandler Timer.Tick, AddressOf Timer_Tick
End Sub

  • Good answer. Not a good idea to name your Timer variable the same name as the class. Also you can skip the AddHandler if you use WithEvents. Private WithEvents DelayTimer As New Timer With {.Interval = 20000}
