timer event animation

Hi ,
I already created a button "enjoy button" that i want to move in a form when the "timer start button" is clicked.
how do link the timer to the
"timer start button" and make it move?

this is what i tried so far..then am blank
first

Code:

---

Public Class MainForm

    Dim DX As Integer
    Dim DY As Integer
    Dim X As Integer
    Dim Y As Integer
    Dim Counter As Double

    Dim Y1 As Integer
    Dim Y2 As Integer
    Dim X1 As Integer
    Dim X2 As Integer

---

then

Code:

---


    Private Sub MainForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    'Me.xTimer.Enabled = False
    xTimer.Interval = 10

    DX = 1
    xDXTextBox.Text = DX

    DY = 1
    xDYTextBox.Text = DY


    Counter = 1000
    xCounterTextBox.Text = Counter

    X = 216
    Y = 135

    Me.xButtonLabel.Text = "Button(" & X & ", " & Y & ")"

---

then

Code:

---


    Private Sub TimeStartButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xTimeStartButton.Click

    Me.xTimer.Enabled = True

---

You would put your move code in the timer_tick event. The code there will execute with each cycle of the timer while the timer is enabled.

and ENABLE the timer in Form_Load
