timer or something diffrent

Hey, I need to write program, which will do some action after 11 minutes.
I have that action done, but I dont know how to write to wait 11 minutes, and how to write to wait 20 secs after 1 action.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim hWnd As Long

  hWnd = FindWindowByCaption("welcome to mia's website  - Mozilla Firefox")
    If hWnd = 0 Then
      MsgBox "Window not found", vbCritical, "Fehler"
    Else
      
      Call BringWindowToTop(hWnd):
      Call SendKeys("TAB", True)
      Call SendKeys("{ENTER}", True)
      Call SendKeys("{F5}", True)
    
    End If
End Sub

It need to wait 20 secs after Call SendKeys("{ENTER}", True) and it need to wait 11 minutes after F5 then it need to do the same action (TAB > 20 secs, ENTER). Thanks :)

Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
 
 
Public Sub Wait(Seconds As Single)
 Dim lMilliSeconds As Long
 lMilliSeconds = Seconds * 1000
 Sleep lMilliSeconds
End Sub

wait 660
this will wait for 11 minutes.

how to make loop? It need to do that action all the time

[purplegerbil]

Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)


Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim hWnd As Long

  hWnd = FindWindowByCaption("welcome to mia's website  - Mozilla Firefox")
    If hWnd = 0 Then
      MsgBox "Window not found", vbCritical, "Fehler"
    Else
      
      Call BringWindowToTop(hWnd):
      Call SendKeys("TAB", True)
      Call SendKeys("{ENTER}", True)
      Wait 20
      Call SendKeys("{F5}", True)
      Wait 660

    End If
End Sub





Public Sub Wait(Seconds As Single)
     Dim lMilliSeconds As Long
     lMilliSeconds = Seconds * 1000
     Sleep lMilliSeconds
End Sub

Not sure what you mean about looping?
Do you want to repeat

Call SendKeys("TAB", True)
      Call SendKeys("{ENTER}", True)
      Wait 20
      Call SendKeys("{F5}", True)
      Wait 660

A set number of times?
If so you could wrap it in a for..Next loop

sipmly, I want to repeat

Call SendKeys("TAB", True)
Call SendKeys("{ENTER}", True)
Wait 20
Call SendKeys("{F5}", True)
Wait 660

Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)


Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim hWnd As Long
Dim iCounter as Integer

  hWnd = FindWindowByCaption("welcome to mia's website  - Mozilla Firefox")
    If hWnd = 0 Then
      MsgBox "Window not found", vbCritical, "Fehler"
    Else
      
      For iCounter = 1 to 1000
          Call BringWindowToTop(hWnd):
          Call SendKeys("TAB", True)
          Call SendKeys("{ENTER}", True)
          Wait 20
          Call SendKeys("{F5}", True)
          Wait 660
    Next iCounter

    End If
End Sub

This will repeat 1000 times.

or don't use a button, use a timer control.
