[velox]

how do select all the screen elements in a frame, so u can move them? I have 20 labels on top of eacch other, how can i move them altogether?
Thanks

Start by deselecting the frame. Select one of your labels in the frame, hold shift, select the other ones.

To select an area with your mouse, deselect the frame, hold control, click and hold and select the area inside the frame you want selected.

thanks, but ive worked out a way, that i dont need to move them. Its way to hard to move them as they gotta be exactly on top of each other.

Then don't move them and use the Left and Top properties instead, or do it all with code at runtime.

Ah ok thanks I have another problem now sorry Im making a calendar/alarm clock etc. And ive done the code for the alarm, but whenever i click enable alarm, the alarm starts playing? Its not supposed to play until the time is up. The code is attached as a notepad document. Cheers

I'll assume you've set the timer's duration at design time?

 

[velox]

yep the interval is 1000

If you haven't solved it yourself already, could you zip the project to me instead? I can't tell from the code on text

Can anyone figure out what i have done wrong?

Here is my project
http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=18148

Its says "compile error : User-define type not defined"

Thanks for any help

I couldn't step through your code to find out what was wrong, since the project didn't open properly for me, but for you alarm clock code, why are you using strings to store times? Visual Basic has the Date data-type, and using that, you would be able to use the DateDiff() function to check if it was time to set off the alarm.

Another thing i noticed, is it would be a bit easier for others to read if you used meaningful control names instead of Text1, and Command2.

Could you post the exact line that you get that "compile error : User-defined type not defined" error? Cause i can't seem to view your project proprely.

It has already been fixed.
