If I run something like Sleep(10000), and the system clock changes during that, will the thread still sleep for 10 seconds of wall-clock time, or less or more? I.e. does the Sleep() function convert milliseconds into hardware ticks? ...
hi everyone, I'm trying to extract some values out of a file and into my excel 2007 workbook, using VBA and the dreaded Sendkeys function (copy-paste) after a shellexecuteEx call.

I recently came across the need to sleep the current thread for an exact period of time. I know of two methods of doing so on a POSIX platform: using nanosleep() or using Boost::this_thread::sleep(). Out of curiosity more than anything else, I was wondering what the differences are between the two approaches. Is there any difference i...

I have read something about a function called flush - but...

If the iPhone sleeps and requires unlocking to activate it then the animations do not start. This is obviously because the timer ends whilst the app is asleep and then the function to restart an animation do...

I have a program whose only purpose is to drive a java.awt.Robot in an infinite loop until an exit condition is met. The robot performs a number of actions in quick succession, which require a standard UI delay between them. For this, I use java.awt.Robot.setAutoDelay(int ms), which appears to be designed for precisely this purpose. At...
I'm trying to make a web browser that tells me when a specific video is done. I already know how to get the time in seconds of how long it takes. I just need to know how to wait to execute the next step without stopping the webbrowser control (which needs to play the flash video). Any ideas? I've been looking into the Timer class, but c...

Am trying the following, but does not work: When my Background Service wakes up, it calls "ConnectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo()" to get active network. Since, the ...

Hi guys, In my app, I have a thread that runs continuously. By using Thread.Sleep(), the function executes every 10 minutes. I need to be able to kill this thread when a user clicks a button. I know Thread.Abort() is not reliable. I can use a variable to stop the thread, but since it is sleeping it could be another 10 minutes before th...
I was wondering if there was an event that is triggered when a laptop or desktop goes into sleep mode. An example would be: When a user is working on his/her laptop and he/she flips the monitor down, the laptop goes into sleep mode. Or when a user goes to Start → Shutdown → Sleep. Are there any events built into .NET that determine t...
