Not sure what you are expecting your sample to do. Please read my previous
reply again. I sense a communication breakdown but we'll get there
Maybe it is a terminology problem. There are 3 stages of a timer:
1. Creation (with -1,-1 so it is not started)
2. Timer running (it has started)
3. Timer expires (it has called you back)
While the timer is in state 2, you can stop it.
Assuming the above is clear, my advice to you was to create timers
with -1,-1 so you don't mix state 1 with state 2. My other advice is to
start the timer with period=-1 so you don't mix state 2 with state 3.
Here is a sample:
In a form with two buttons place the following code, run it and click
button1. If you click button2 within 4 seconds the timer will not expire.
// Timer created with -1,-1
private System.Threading.Timer tmr = new System.Threading.Timer(new
TimerCallback(clbk), null, -1, -1);
// if timer expires msgbox shown
private static void clbk(object o){
MessageBox.Show("expired");
}
//Button1 starts the timer
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e){
tmr.Change(4000, -1);
}
// button2 stops the timer
private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e){
tmr.Change(-1, -1);
}
