How can I use the timer to controle the visibility of members?

[Robto]

Hi all,

I would like to use a timer to change the visibility of members. I couldn't find an example. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Cheer,
Robin

What do you mean by "members"? what is it you need or trying to do?

Hi NJDude, I want to hide and show buttons. Click on a button to start the sequence of colored buttons like a disco light. It's a total of 5 colored buttons on the same place x, y coordinates.

Thanks in advance.

Look at the attached project, that will give you an idea.

NOTE: Edited to attach button visibility changes.

Hi NJDude,

Thank you for the code. Although it is exactly what I described, it is not what I had in mind (my bad).

I have 5 buttons and only 1 is visible. I want only one visible at all times. When I press that visible button, I want to have another button turn visible (and the one thats visible to turn unvisible), and I want the one that is visible to change every timer interval

Thank you.

Set up a timer that makes all the buttons invisible, and then makes one randomly visible. Make sure that you reset the timer interval in the tick event.

Set up the button click events to call the timer tick event.

Ok, I have modified the code and reposted it.

Thanks guys, Ill try it right away

Works like a charm!! Thanks

Just 1 question though, how do I do this with 5 buttons. The current code switches true and false between two buttons. Sorry for asking so much.

I believe I have to setup a list and use the tick to 'choose' which button from the list I will show (this is how I can control the sequence as I dont want it to be random). Not sure how to realise this in code though... :sign0085:
