If I run the application after 2 minutes my textbox1 and label1 become invisible. If I move the mouse pointer again textbox1 and label become visible. Now what I need is after 2 minutes again the textbox1 and label1 need to invisible and if I move the mouse pointer it should visible again.
This process should repeat continuously until I close the application.

As far as I understood, you need the controls to be Hidden and should be made visible after sometime, you want this to be a cyclic process.

And you are able to do this for the first time, but couldn't repeat it right?

selva_1990 20-Oct-12 6:20am

when you move your mouse, the textbox and label is shown again, and at the same time, you restart the timer.
timer1.Start() << restart the timer

selva_1990 20-Oct-12 6:34am

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
int a = 1000; //i used timer interval as 1000
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
a = a + 500;
if (a == 3000)
{
textBox1.Visible = false;
}
if (a == 4000)
{

label1.Visible = false;
}

//timer1.Stop();

}

private void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
label1.Visible = true;
textBox1.Visible = true;
timer1.Start();
}

this is my code i start the timer but no change...

Solution 1

Its very clear for us to identify your problem after you post your code.

C#

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent(); 
    // Set the timer interval here
    timer1 = new Timer();
    timer1.Interval = 2000; // means 2 seconds
    // timer1.Interval = 2 * 60 * 1000 // means 2 minutes
    timer1.Tick += timer1_Tick;
}

C#

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    textbox1.Visible = false;
    label1.Visible = false;
    timer1.Stop();
}

C#

private void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    label1.Visible = true;
    textBox1.Visible = true;
    // Restart Timer
    timer1.Stop();
    timer1.Start();
}

Added (edit)

C#

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Automatic start timer at Form Load
    timer1.Start();
}

But you didn't set the Tick event handler!
You forgot timer1.Tick += timer1_Tick

adriancs 20-Oct-12 10:44am

I follow the OP's code. The OP can run the code with timer start. There is a very high possibility that the Timer Tick event handler is set in the Form1.Designer.cs (UI design) by the OP.

adriancs 20-Oct-12 10:48am

However, I do miss out the timer.Start() at Page Load.

adriancs 20-Oct-12 22:32pm

I think you are right. He said the timer is not running. Perhaps timer1.Tick += timer1_Tick is not set. But how come he can run it in the 1st place? nevermind, just add it anyway.

selva_1990 20-Oct-12 12:21pm

timer is not running..... program simply running without error no change

adriancs 20-Oct-12 22:35pm

I have added the timer1.Tick += timer1_Tick;
at the constructor. You may try again.

selva_1990 20-Oct-12 23:07pm

now its working great thanks a lot
