this is what the code looks like but doesn't work

C#

if (timer1.Start == timer1.Tick )
        {
label1.text = "im ticking";
        }
else
{
label1.text = "im not ticking";
}

Use the Enabled property for this.

Hi,

Try this:

C#

if (timer1.Enabled==true)
        {
label1.text = "im ticking";
        }
else
{
label1.text = "im not ticking";
}
