how to disable button for 3 seconds after button click and enable the button again by itself? VB.net

I want to disable the button for 3 seconds so users wont abuse the system.

Solution

  • how to disable button for 3 seconds after button click and enable the button again by itself?

    In its simplest form:

    Private Async Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Button1.Enabled = False

    ' ... do something ...

    Await Task.Delay(3000)

    Button1.Enabled = True
End Sub

    If the "do something" part is time consuming, then maybe something more like:

    Private Async Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Button1.Enabled = False

    Await Task.Run(Sub()

                       ' ... do something ...

                       System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000)
                   End Sub)

    Button1.Enabled = True
End Sub
