Hi,
I have a timer that ticks every 3 seconds. If the timer found something a messagebox will show. Then the timer should wait 30 seconds, before he show again the messagebox (the user of course must have time to react).
How can I handle this?
I tried a Thread.Sleep(30000), but the GUI blocks of course.
My other Idea is a second timer that will be activated after the first ticks and reactivate the first timer in the tick-method.
So: t1 tick -> msg box -> after click -> t2 enable (30 sec tick) -> t2 tick, enable t1
But I think thats not a good idea, is there a better way?
