thought u ment victorian bitter/ VB the beer lol

[Innovacious]

well, i just made a simple form with a label a timer and a button.

Used your code and it worked

Code: Select all

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
  Label1.Caption = Format(Val(Label1.Caption) + 0.01, "fixed")
End Sub

although your interval is wrong on your timer, 1000 is a second. If your doing milliseconds in that format then thats still wrong, should be 10 i think (unless its dif in vb.net)

edit: oooh you must be doing it in milliseconds cus there arnt 100 seconds in a min, lol

ANOTER edit: your errors seem to be with the label. Have you named it right?

I FOUND THE SOLUTION

youre using vb 6 code. in vb.net they replace .caption with .text for some stupid reason

autoit wud be better tbh. i prefer c++ but for sumthin so simple your better off with autoit. u cud do it in 10 lines. i'd write it now 4 u but im feelin sik and i only hav 1 hand hence the shit gramma

guess so, minor question. When i 'build' something, where can i find the build file? (as in where does it save to?)

you dont build stuff in vb 6. You just run it, if you want a .exe in vb 6 you have to go to file/make "projectname".exe

the version youre using is different by the sounds of it

[PR0METHEUS]

So is this VB 6.0 or VB.NET? I'm more familiar with VB 6.0 myself. Trying to get a VB programming job actually... *crosses fingers*

Yeah I was just going to say, the compiler was not recognizing Timer1.Caption (blue underline). Normally if you Just type the class name and a period (aka Timer1.) it will give you a list of valid classes you can use. I'm guessing Caption does not show up in that list.

man read the error man the line u wrote the Label class doesn't got Caption property use instead Label1.Text property.As the caption property has changed in VB.net to Text property ....

man read the above posts in this thread man... Perhaps use punctuation too?

A few people have already pointed out that the compiler cannot find the .Caption class, and have suggested using .Text instead.
