Need Help With Timers And Moving Things

Moving Things And Deselecting Things.
Okay, I have two questions. First I'll give you the noobish one. How do you deselect something like a command button so it's not highlighted? I also have a problem with my end of the year project I asked for help with a while ago. I'm trying to make it so that when you click a button, the notes on a measure (of music) move down to the next set of lines instead of going to the right off the screen. It's hard to explain, but here's the code for the command button:

VB Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()intOMG = intOMG + 1If intOMG > 8 Then    Command1.Enabled = FalseEnd IfLine1(Line1.lbound + intOMG).Visible = TrueLine2(Line2.lbound + intOMG).Visible = TrueLine3(Line3.lbound + intOMG).Visible = TrueLine4(Line4.lbound + intOMG).Visible = TrueLine5(Line5.lbound + intOMG).Visible = True End Sub


Here's a picture of the form, which is probably the best way I can show you:

Also, how can I make that scrollbar work? This should be my last question about my project (seeing as it's due tomorrow), so thanks to those who help.

Wierd Things With Timers.. Can The Run Only Once?
This one is wierd to me. Here is the problem.
I have 2 timers Named Timer1 and Timer2.
Timer1 has an Interval of 100 and Timer2 has an Interval of 5000.
On the form load I put timer1.Enabled = False and Timer2.Enabled = False
This turns off the timers like it is supposed to.

Later in my software if certain conditions are met I Enabale Timer1. Timer1 then waits 100ms and then executes its commands.
The first command that I issue in Timer1 is Timer1.Enabled = False
The Last Command that I put is Timer2.Enabled = True
Here is the weird part!
Then Timer2 waits 5secs and runs.
Then the first line in Timer2 is Timer2.Enabled = False
Then I execute several more commands to update some database records. Then it creates the records in the database with no problems. The wierd thing is that 5 secs later it runs again... It only runs twice and never only runs once. I have tried making the intervals different, but I can't get the timer to run only once. So I guess the questions is how do I get a timer to run only once?

Timers And Form Moving
I put a timer on my form and then run the project. When I move the form or just click on the title bar, the timer pauses itself until I let go of the title bar. How can I stop this??

Moving Things*

i have a timer that subtracts 10 out of the shape.left every 1 sec. from time to time i want to change the speed of this, like (-20) (-30)

Help With Moving Things In Arrays
Hey people.

Here is my problem.

I have an array of a size 10. Anyway i want to know how to delete and item in the array and move every item in the array down one so that it fills the empty space. So that I have no empty spaces in the middle of my array only at the end of it.

I have puzzled on it for ages.

Any help would be aprreciated.

Moving Things From One Listview To Another
Hey guys I have one listview called report on a form call antivirus. This listview has checkboxes.

I have another listview with no check boxes on a form call resuls.

What I would like to do is when an item or items is checked, whatever is in the first column of the report listview on the antivirus form goes in the results listview on the resuls form. The same as the second column, I would like that repeated as well.

But the twist is if the user checks a problem and then presses the delete button. I would like the 3rd column of the results listview on the resuls form to say "Deleted" for that checked item.

OR if the user checks a problem and presses ignore then it would just say Ignored by the item in the 3rd column.


Can anyone tell me how I could do all that?

Thanks!

Moving Things From A Listview To A Textbox?
Hey guys I have a listview called report and it has check boxes. I have another form called form2 with a text2.text.

Is there a way when I check one item and press a button that checked item goes in the text2 of the form2?

Its just the item from the first column of the report listivew.

Thanks!

Bunch O Timers - Moving Objects - Bounce Off Screen Edge
I'm sure it's been covered before . It's not that hard to do
yet I have issues . This is simple , Move the Object around the screen . The problem lies when it's moving to the right hand side .

Code For Moving To The First Blank Cell In A Worksheet; Moving Left,right,up Or Down
I have created an application form as a userform in Excel. I need to send the data entered into my text boxes when the program runs to separate excel cells in a worksheet.

My problem is I can use code that will send the textbox entry to a specific cell eg. If my textbox is named Surname I can say

range("a5").value = surname but if I do that when I run the programme to enter the next record for someone else the first record will be overwritten.

I NEED A CODE LINE THAT WILL TAKE ME TO THE FIRST EMPTY CELL AND ALLOW ME TO MOVE DOWN OR TO THE LEFT OR TO THE RIGHT

Timers
Can you not put the 'timer' event for a timer inside a module? I've been trying and I can't seem to figure it out. I wanted to put all the timer events into one module, but then decided I would be happy to have the timer events in the module for the part of the game to which they pertain, but the only way I seem to be able to get them to work is in the form1 code itself...?

About Timers
Hi there, I got a question concerning timers (I think).
I'm making an RPG like Final fantasy, very simple of course, and Before any one can attack in a fight a time meter (a shape) should be full before you can attack, but how can I do that.. I tried something like:

Shape1.width=shape1.width+(player speed)

If shape1.width=> X then....

Loop

Obviously it didn't work...
Thanks a lot.

Timers
im making a snow cross game for info tech at school... i wanna make a timer for the computer player and the human player so when the computer crosses the finish (its gonna be in a collision type thing) and after both have crossed it will determine who won by whos timer has the bigger timer. the idea is that when they start, the timer starts, when they hit the collision code at the end it stops, with a counter it determines whos finish (first time, c = c+1, second c = c + 1, if c = 2....) then it matches the two times...

player = 2.3 minutes (or whatever)
comp = 2.6 minutes

if player > comp then msgbox etc etc etc....

so yeah, how would i set up the timers? i havent actually used em much at all so far....

Timers In VB6
I have read that using the Timer Control in VB6 is a poor programming technique. Is this true? If so, why? What alternative/s exist? I am interested in monitoring my server continuously for incoming email and monitoring a directory for changes. Are there memory leaks with the Timer Control?

Thanks

Help With Timers
I posted a while ago asking about timers when you're using VB in a spreadsheet so i was told you have to use a special timer function.

I got a link to a file demonstrating it but it went way over my head and I think it's a lot more complicated then I actually need.

I just want when a button is pressed for a message box to appear on the screen saying "You have 10 seconds" and then the message box goes away after ten seconds.

instead of the message box staying up i could also disable the buttons on my form for 10 seconds if that's easier.

Can someone help me please, I have no ideas.

Where Are Timers?
Hi everyone, in my program that I am currently making i want to use a ten second timer that appears on the screedn but that's not really the point. I am using a spreadsheet in my program which, as most of you will know, means that you use a slightly differnt version of visual basic. There is a not a timer listed on the toolbox and when i right click and go to additional controls there are so many i cant seem to find it there either.

can someone help?

Thanks

Timers
Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone could help me with a timing question.

I have 2 buttons on my form which control a display (numerical). When one button is pressed the value increments 1 per second and when the other button is pressed the value decrements 1 per second. The bit that is getting me is that I need it to have a time delay of 5 seconds before the value starts to increment. The value should keep incrementing for the length of time the button was held in, which means that it should keep incrementing for a certain amount of time after the button is released. Then the other thing is if the user presses and holds the increment button and then straight after releasing it, presses the decrement button. It has to show the value going up (to what it would have if the decrement button hadnt been pressed) then come back down again all the while keeping with this time delay

This is also the way the decrement button has to work as well, just decrementing instead of incrementing

I have it working with a lot of arrays incrementing and decrementing eachother but it has got very messy and I am sure thers is a simpler way with nowhere near as much code

Can anyone help me please

Cheers

John

---

Timers
I have never used timers before and can't find the right documentation on how they work =. If I would want my timer to count down from 5 mins and display the time as it is going down in a label, how should I proceed to do so?

And to be sure, if the interval = 1000 it means it goes by 1 second?

---

Timers

Instead Of Using Timers...what Else Can I Use?
I have a web browser control that has to go to page 1, input info, submit, then go to page 2, input more info, submit then page 3, input more info and submit. Right now I'm using Timers...what else can I use that doesn't rely on time?

**** Timers....please Help
I really need to learn how to get away from using these timers because sometimes the page doesn't load and the information isn't sent. This program logs onto a website and posts content in the textbox and clicks submit. When I go back to the webpage to see if it sent, it doesn't show. Then if I manually enter the info in and click submit, there are two entries (one from before and one from just now).....

I think it has to do with the fact the page isn't loading after clicking submit. Any ideas?

Timers?
is there anyway to make a timers interval for up too 60 mins, or maybe a loop?

---

Timers..
Im working on a 'game' type thing, where you click start, and it starts counting down from X, then if it reaches 0, it shuts down, and if you enter the right password, it proceeds and stops the timer.

Im wondering how I would do this..

---

Timers
I used to know how to do this but I forgot..

What's the code inside of a timer to make it wait so long before processing the next line of code?

scenario: i have 3 boxes. i want to use a timer to load each box, but i want a 1 second wait in between each line of code (in other words, the timer will load each box one at a time with 1 second in between)

what the code would look like:

_____________________________________
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

box1.visible = true

timer1.wait = 1000

box2.visible = true

timer1.wait = 1000

box3.visible = true

End Sub
_____________________________________

the timer1.wait thing i made up.. it should be a simple one-line code i insert there to make the timer wait 1,000 ms (or 1 second). does anyone know it? i'd really appreciate it...

it should be something real similar to timer.wait.. but i just dont know what it is.. thanks a million

2 Timers
i have 2 timers going at the same time, one going at 1 second interval and the other at 5 second interval so every 5 seconds they both fire at the same time.

is it a bad idea to have them firing at the same time or would you set the intervals so they never fire at the same time.

casey.
