I want to make one of my forms refresh itself and all controls in it every few seconds, how would I go about doing this? Thanks in advanced :)

What you need to do is to create a new timer and set the .Interval to the number of few seconds you want multiply by 1000 (ex. 1000 = 1 sec).
Timer1.Interval=3000 'will occur every 3 secondsAfter it you need to Enable the timer:Timer1.Enabled=TrueIn the Timer1_Tick event: ========================= > To update graphic, use Me.Refresh. > To update controls, write the code that does it. Ex:Private Sub Timer1_Tick(...) Me.Refresh ' Refresh the form txtText1.Text = strA ' strA is a string that changed numID.Text = Num3 ' Num3 is an Integer ... End Sub -

Ex:Private Sub Timer1_Tick(...) Me.Refresh ' Refresh the form txtText1.Text = strA ' strA is a string that changed numID.Text = Num3 ' Num3 is an Integer ... End SubThe code I just added is VB.NET code. In VB6 the parameters are same, but the event called "Timer" instead of "Tick".
Private Sub Timer1_Timer Me.Refresh ' Refresh the form txtText1.Text = strA ' strA is a string that changed numID.Text = Num3 ' Num3 is an Integer ... End Sub
