It works. The problem is that your code is running on the UI thread and blocks it so the WM_PAINT messages that are tacking up in your apps message queue don't get processed. That means that your label control is not receiving the Paint messages until after your code is done and your app is idle. That's when the label gets repainted. Also, what's with the
Label()array?? Is this VB6 you're using?? If so, stop now and get VB.NET Express. It's free and you won't be teaching yourself some very bad habits forced on your by VB6.A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^]

Yeah, but that's not the best way to do it.

Give this video series a try. I am sure this will help you understand Visual Basic better. Channel 9 MSDN: Visual Basic For Beginers Video Series[^] I hope this helps. :)

Dave KreskowiakThank you all for your help. I know it's probably not the best way to do it, by creating a dictionnary, but since my project is small, it does the job for now. When I get better at coding I will look at other ways to do it. PS I am using Visual Studio 2010 ultimate. I have another question but I will post another thread Again thanks

Thats not a dictionary. It's an array. The two are very different in their functionality and if you start using the incorrct terminology when referring to thi \sstuff in forums, you'll end up confusing people.
