It took me like four months to figure that out, way back when I was 8. In the meantime I was using the only way I knew how to 'slow down' something; some processor heavy calculations. Ofcourse it always bugged me how the form exited before it was drawn.  |

Ah yeah, jsut figured it out:
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
MsgBox "boo!"
End Sub
Another hour wasted on something so simple.  |

Create a Timer object, give it Interval=10000 and Enabled=True ... then in the Timer's code, set Enabled=False and the timer won't run more than once (at 10 seconds) 
Not sure if there's a better way to do it, but this one is pretty simple ... |

Well, what I want to do is pretty simple, just don't know how. Already looked on MSDN and google but those weren't much help.
I want to know how to do timer events. If someone can post me the code to display a simple MsgBox 10 seconds after the form is loaded, I'd pretty much know the drill. |
