Help with Picturebox and Timers

[markaroni]

I'm creating a simple Slot Machine. one button for the start, and 3 stop buttons on each tiles of Picturebox. my problem is, Every time i clicked each of the stop buttons, the Picturebox won't stop. I need help in which, if i clicked the stop button on a corresponding Picturebox, it will stop and the two will continue to shuffle pictures then if i clicked the other stop button, another will stop and so on. thanks!

here's what i have for now.

namespace SlotMachine
{
    class SlotMac
    {

        private Form f;
        Button btn1 = new Button(); //first stop
        Button btn2 = new Button(); //second stop
        Button btn3 = new Button(); //third stop
        Button btn4 = new Button(); //start
        Timer Clock;    //tick
        Timer Clock1;   //tick
        Timer Clock2;   //tick
        Int32 tick = 0;

        public SlotMac()
        {

            f = new Form();
            f.Text = "Slot Machine";
            //f.Size = new Size(800, 700);
            f.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle;
            
        }

        PictureBox[] pics = new PictureBox[7];
        PictureBox pb = new PictureBox();

        public void Launch()
        {
            int i = 0;

            Clock = new Timer();
            Clock.Interval = 800;
            Clock.Tick += new EventHandler(Clock_Tick);

            Clock1 = new Timer();
            Clock1.Interval = 900;
            Clock1.Tick += new EventHandler(Clock1_Tick);

            Clock2 = new Timer();
            Clock2.Interval = 1000;
            Clock2.Tick += new EventHandler(Clock2_Tick);

            int x = 50;
            for (i = 0; i < pics.Length; i++)
            {

                pics[i] = new PictureBox();
                pics[i].Image = Image.FromFile(i+".jpg");
                pics[i].SetBounds(x, 100, 100, 100);
                x += 150;
                f.Controls.Add(pics[i]);
            }

            f.SetBounds(10, 20, 500, 500);

Your start button is correct.
But each of the stop buttons should only stop one of the timers.
You do not need to start the timers in your stop buttons!

[markaroni]

okay. I also tried to only put Clock, Clock1, Clock2.Stop(); on each buttons but the shuffle of images won't stop either. any ideas on how will I work on this?

[nick.crane]

If you are still having problems with this then please post your current code and I'll take a look; otherwise please mark the thread solved.

Each of the stop buttons are now working. I created three arrays of Picture Box. Thanks.
