Make label text disappear after a fixed duration
Hello,
I am using c#, VS 2008 and winforms.
I have label named lblResult.
When the user clicks a button, i am showing the operation result on lblResult.Text.
After i set lblResult.Text, i want to reset the text to "" , after 4 seconds. How can i do that?
thanks

create a timer for 4 seconds and set the test to "" in the timer and kill the timer there.
Two options Thread.Sleep(4000) but that will stop the UI thread and your user can't do anything.
or create a timer for the 4 seconds and sort out the "" during the tick event.

Try the below code,
protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Put user code to initialize the page here
test = 1;
timer1.Interval = 4000;
timer1.Start();
timer1.Enabled = true;
}
private void timer1_Elapsed(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEvent
{
lblCounter.Text = "";
}

{

test = 1;
timer1.Interval = 4000;
timer1.Start();
timer1.Enabled = true;
}

{
lblCounter.Text = "";
}

I was using Timer. But my problem was to run it only once.
