How to carry timer control duration to other screen?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello,

 

I need to update the data every 10 seconds using timer control which works as expected when I place the timer control in the single screen.

 

However, I require to implement the same logic regardless the screen in the app, I assume this is achievable by putting the same timer control in all the screen, however how do I manage the time duration of timer control?

 

For example, if timer control duration is 10 seconds with AutoStart and Repeat as true which is places in all the screen of the app.

 

Now User open "Screen 1" and timer starts, the moment it reaches to 5th second, user is moving to "Screen 2" - and the timer again wil start from 1st second and logic's intention will be failed written on OnTimerEnd attribute.

 

Can you suggest an approach, how can I update data every 10 seconds using timer control that should work regardless user traverse to different screen?

 

Thanks,

    Hi @dave8 ,

     

    In order to achieve this result you simply need to make sure that you change the "Auto Pause" property to "Off" on any timer you don't want to have stop when the screen changes.  When it is "On", the Timer control will pause when the screen changes.  When "Off" it will not.
