stop a timer

[kenobe]

Hi
Can someone pls help to solve my problem?

I have started a timer when I press a button

my question is "Can I stop the timer in the timer_tick(..) sub?
I try this inside the timer1_tick(..) suib
timer1.stop()
It does not work.

my timer_tick routine is doing something, when it is done, the timer should stop. How do I do it?

I have timer's stop themselves in their Tick events all the time, never been a problem for me.

It is too much to put the code here.
In shor, the code involves receiving data from the serial port and at the same time, a timer is ticking some process. will this arrangement conflict each other?

That's probably your problem. Call Stop at the beginning of the Tick event handler, not the end. Otherwise it may be raising more Tick events while the first event handler is still processing.
