Re: [OT] Visual Basic - Timing



Hi,
 
You can measure microseconds only from VC6 and/or assembler.
In VB6 is impossible to do something lower that 1ms.
 
In order to make measurements of microseconds, you must use the high resolution performance counters.
This is what I use in my application for real time measurement ( I get very good precision even with an PII/300MHz, for less than 100us).
If you want details, send me a mail.
 
BR,
Dan

Hi All,

HELP !!!!!

If there is a simple answer to this I will get loads of replies and feel I
have missed the obvious but....

...despite searching on Google and looking in the VB6 help files, I cant
find a way of measuring the time between two events in anything less
"second" resolution.

Timers are programmed in "milliseconds" but I want to measure "microseconds"

Anyone done this or got ideas on how I can do it please.

In a world where PC's are past the 2GHz mark not being able to resolve more
than 1000 events per second seems unlikely!
