如何延迟计时器正确启动？

Question

Using Winforms, I need to delay execution of event timer1_Tick itself or may delay timer1.Start() as well.

I have no idea how to do that properly. Could someone give an advice?

Answer 1

Just put Thread.Sleep before handle event

public void Timer1_tick(...){
   System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
}

or if you need to delay timer1.Start() execution

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
timer1.Start();

Answer 2

1.) Use another timer ("helper") that starts the intended timer at its first tick, then stop this helper timer. 2.) Cout the ticks of your timer and only execute the event handler code after the tick count exceeded a limit:

This example starts the event handler code only after the first 100 ticks:

int tickCount;
public void Timer1_tick(...)
{
   if( tickCount++ < 100 ) return;

   // Do something...
}
