Wait set time for user input C# console app
For a Console app,开发者_如何学Python I need to know how to wait at set amount of time (about 10 seconds), for a user to input a key or set of keys, before proceeding with an 'auto run' portion of the application.
This is bugging me because I can't quite figure out how the timer works, or threading.sleep, what should I use? Been googling all day.
some psuedocode:
1.app opens
2.app waits 10 secs for user to hit the "k" key.
3.if user hits k, go to 4. if user does not, go to 5.
4.run a function(open a form)
5.run a function(do something)
I bet its simple, I just don't understand whats going on.
Here's some sample code for a C# console application. It doesn't use a timer, instead it uses Sleep. It may be a bit easier to understand than timer based code.
static void openForm()
{
Console.WriteLine("Form opened!");
}
static void doSomething()
{
Console.WriteLine("Do something!");
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
bool optionForm = false;
int seconds = 1;
Console.Write("Press 'k' to open form");
while (true)
{
if (Console.KeyAvailable)
{
ConsoleKeyInfo c = Console.ReadKey(true);
if (c.Key == ConsoleKey.K)
{
optionForm = true;
break;
}
}
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
if (seconds++ > 10)
break;
Console.Write('.');
}
Console.WriteLine();
if (optionForm)
openForm();
else
doSomething();
Console.ReadKey();
}
Set a 10 second timer off.
Fire an event when the timer expires.
In the event handler proceed with the "auto run" section.
If the user hits a key before the timer expires, kill the thread.
The Timer
class page on MSDN has an example of a timer waiting for a set period.
Thanks Marlon!! It really helped me a lot..
I used following code:
int minutes = 1;
while (true)
{
if (Console.KeyAvailable)
{
ConsoleKeyInfo c = Console.ReadKey(true);
if (c.Key == ConsoleKey.Enter)
{
break;
}
}
Thread.Sleep(1000);
if (minutes++ > 10)
{
throw;
}
}
Here is some code that will do the trick for you too.
Form1 f = new Form1();
System.Threading.Timer t = new System.Threading.Timer(o => f.Invoke(new Action(() => f.textBox1.Enabled = true)), null, 10000, System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite);
f.ShowDialog();
t.Change(System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite, System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite);
