moving a picture

I want to slowly move picture upwards vertically. It starts on the form at pic.top = 4000 and I want it to move up a certain distance depending on a variable (A). The variable A is entered on a different form and when this form opens the picture should move.

Private Sub Form_Load()
z = 0
End Sub

Private Sub time_Timer()
Do While z < A
pic.Top = 4000 - z
z = z + 1
Loop

Jacamar

dim z as integer

Private Sub Form_Load()
z = 0
End Sub

Private Sub time_Timer()
dim A as integer
A = cint(Form1.Text1.text)
Do While z < A
pic.Top = 4000 - z
z = z + 1
Loop

Richie_Simonetti

Private Sub time_Timer()
static i as long
if i=4000 then
time.enabled=false
else
pic.Top = 4000 - z
i = i + 1

end if
end sub

but if value i is in another form you should full reference it and not use static declaration:

Private Sub time_Timer()

if form2.i=4000 then
time.enabled=false
else
pic.Top = 4000 - form2.i
form2.i = form2.i + 1

end if
end sub

' form2
public i as long

supunr

Private Sub Form_Load()
z = 0
End Sub

Private Sub time_Timer()
if (z < A) then
time.Enabled = false
exit sub
exit sub
pic.Top = 4000 - z
z = z + 1
Loop

' I recommend you disabling the time in design time and enabling the time when form activates (because there is a small time lag between form_load and form_activate
Private Sub Form_Activate()
time.Enabled = true
End Sub

Good Luck!

at design time, hold your left mouse button down on the picture and move the mouse in a slow upward position

Hi

Go to http://www.a1vbcode.com/search.asp

Type "animation" in the search box (Located in top right corner) and click search.

There are plenty of downloads. You might find a nice one over there.

Enjoy!
