How to utilize the timer control in WinForms?
Using a timer control in WinForm is very easy. Here are the steps for using a timer control:
- Find the Timer control in the Toolbox of WinForm and drag it onto the form.
- Set the properties of the timer control, such as the Interval (the time interval in milliseconds at which the timer triggers events).
- Double-click on the timer control, and write the timer’s Tick event handling method in the code. For example:
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// 在这里编写定时器触发时执行的操作
}
- Start the timer in the Load event of the form. For example:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
timer1.Start();
}
- Stop the timer in the Closing event of the form. For example:
private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
timer1.Stop();
}
You can now use the timer control in WinForm to implement the functionality of executing certain operations at regular intervals.
