pacified Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 Okay, here is where I warn and apologise in advance: WARNING: Very much a beginner, very much a stupid. Apology: I'm sorry. Here is my problem, if you can be of any help, I'd appreciate ... I have done minimal programming and even less VB stuff, and I'm stuck with a project in VB. I could have easily done it on VB 6.0, but I have VS.NET, which is a problem. This is how simpleton I am, and how it is still beyond me: On VB, I could hide and show forms with .hide and .show, this is not so on VS. Why, and what is the equivalent to hide/show? Also, I have a username module, the string is "username". I could, in VB, type lblUser.caption = username (or something like that) and have the username called and chucked up on my caption. Again, that's not working here. And that's bad. I won't continue just yet, lest I waste more bandwidth. If anyone can lend a hand with these, though, I may have other questions shortly. Blah, thanks for your time. -Paci Quote
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted October 20, 2003 Administrators Posted October 20, 2003 lblUser.Text = "string" the caption property has been renamed to .Text now. As for using forms things have changed alot - gone more Object Orientated now see the following for more info. http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76208&highlight=form+show+hide http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=70825&highlight=form+show+hide Quote Posting Guidelines FAQ Post Formatting Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them. -- Albert Einstein

pacified Posted October 20, 2003 Author Posted October 20, 2003 OK. Now I'm just.. no idea. Timers. I have frmSplash which I need to flash up on the screen for 3 seconds when frmWelcome loads, then I need it to disappear, leaving frmWelcome as it was. ...How? Quote
