Android Question [Solved] Prevent rapid Button_Click?

[anOparator]

I have a next and a previous button, each will:
increment 3 process_globals in Starter,
run 3 Subs loading a bitmap in 3 seperate imageviews
and do 3 kvs.Put statements.

If I click a button too fast too many times my counter variable goes from 13, 14, 15 to 116.
Would DoEvent in Button_Click be a way to prevent this or is there a better way?

No.

Sub Button1_Click
 If DateTime.Now - LastActionTime < 300 Then Return
 LastActionTime = DateTime.Now
 ...
End Sub

LastActionTime is a process global variable.

and a Long one at that , 200 is too small, 300 is just right. It turns 10 rapid Click events nto 5.
Thanks for the IDEa.

Without me knowing how many clicks are to be expected...
Why don't you consider long_clicks ?
That would slow it down.

There's no way of knowing how fast the end user will click the button, I merely wanted to protect Counter1 from very rapid Button1_Clicks.
Long_click has its' use but not in this case, the code snippet above is more user friendly with a Tap-Tap-Tap feel, more adjustable, and does the job at 300 milliseconds.
Thanks for mentioning the long_click option.
