    Post 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

    Re: timer event animation

    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.
