Yes indeed Thank you very much

Hi I`m trying to run timer on tick method after clicking the button and i dont really understand how it can be done. can anyone help please :doh: ?? for example : private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { myTimer.Enabled = true; //Run myTimer_tick } private void myTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { //Do something here }

It`s not working for me, what i`ve noticed is that all the panel as the user switches between do same thing whether there are only labels or pictureBoxes so i`m assuming that there`s the problem with bitmap on the background of the form. panels they are all set up as transparent. any ideas??

right i`ll try that but i forgot to tell you that on the form is background 800x600 bitmap so maybe that is the reason that is so slow.

Hi To all I`m very new to the programming and got stuck. So i`ve been trying to write a program using Windows Form which include several different panels on. User can choose between which one is visible. on each form there are few pictureboxes and my problem is ..... when you swich between them in the runtime it`s not smooth enough :( user can see loadning frames of these picture boxes for few miliseconds this is really annoying. Is there any easy way of loading it in the background and show it after its ready or something ??? I started reading about threads etc but at the moment its quite difficult, i will be gratefull if someone could explain it with an example Thanks in advance Dims

Hello still nothing cannot solve this problem, so what i tried is i tried declare variable as a (public int nameOfInteger) just before the method, in the begining oif the class and everywhere else. Still confused thats my code

namespace ExerciseInt
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
int newNumber;

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
       
    }

    public void button1\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Random myRandom = new Random
        myNumber = myRandom.Next(1,10);
    }

    private void button2\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(myNumber.ToString());
    }
}

}

so when i click button1 variable should be set up and when click button2 i would like to see this variable in the message box. looking forward to hear from you.

Hello All I`m very new to the programming so this might be easy question to all of you, i`m hoping someone can help me out. So i`m trying to write very easy program in windows form but i have encountered the problem. lets say that i have an event on the button1 (CLICK) which should pick up a random number and hold it in the memory unless i click it again to change it. My problem is that i cannot figure out how to use this variable which has been set up in the first place with another event button2(Click) which will use this variable and do other task with using int previously declared. Short example:

public void Random_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Random myRandom = new Random();
int myNumber = myRandom.Next(1,10);
}
public void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox(myNumber.ToString());
}

This will not work and i cannot find the way to get it right plese help !!!

Ok as soon as I get back home I will post my code

Any chacne that you could post one for my code please?? Seriously I have been trying to find solution for last 5 days !
