[information99]

i want to change color of form after every 3 sec. in vc#. How it can be done with the help of timer. Do i need to use a loop if yes then how?

Thanx

Add a Timer control to the form and implement code that handles time Timer's Tick event. In that method set the Window.Form.Bac kColor property.

Try calling the Update method afterwords to force the control to refresh.

That code always sets the background to red. Then what?

Use an IF...ELSE condition in timer_tick event to set different colors depending upon value property of timer control.

if .. else not working

hi
thankx for ur suggestions. Somebody suggested me to use random class/method. but i dont know how to use here. plz. guide.

[Subin Ninan]

you can use random class as:

Random rndObj = new Random();           
if(rndObj.Next(1, 4).ToString()== "1")
{
this.BackColor = Color.Red;
}
else
if(rndObj.Next(1, 4).ToString()== "2")
{
this.BackColor = Color.Green;
}
else
if(rndObj.Next(1, 4).ToString()== "3")
{
this.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
}
else
{
this.BackColor = Color.White;
}

want to use random with timer

Thanks, but i want to change the color with timer.

[alzcuty]

just put a timer on the form and set its interval to 1000 that is, representing milliseconds... .

play Button:

Timer1.start();

Now on ur .cs file...

public int a=10;

then on the timer's tick event.put the following code

a--;
if(a==10)
  this.backcolor= color.red;

else if(a==9)
  this.backcolor= color.blue;

and so on....
