Timers OCX

If you are looking for expanded timer functionality, the Timers control is definitely worth checking out. This suite of timer controls expands on the basic timer control supplied with Visual Basic, allowing for much longer timing periods. While the basic timer counts in milliseconds and only allows for timing up to about 65 seconds, the Timers control can time over 32,000 hours.

Not only do these timers offer longer timing periods, they also come equipped with features that should have been included in the standard VB timer control. The suite includes the STimer, MTimer, and HTimer controls, which allow for timing in seconds, minutes, and hours, respectively.

Perhaps one of the most useful features of the Timers control is the Wait control. This control allows the host application to be paused for a set period of time, providing even more precise timing capabilities.

Overall, the Timers control is a powerful and flexible tool for timing within Visual Basic. If you need to time longer intervals or require more precise timing capabilities than the basic Visual Basic timer allows, this suite is definitely worth considering.
