xTimer.Start

You should use xTimer.Tick event to move your button.

on timer tick event
- make randomize function to get new X and Y,so your button always get new location to moving every timer tick.

Re: Creating a moving button in vb 2005 Help

Why would you want the timer to stop when you press the button to start the timer? lol. If you put the code to move the button in the timer_tick event, as you should have already, you just need to stop the timer like this.

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
Private Sub TimeStartButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xTimeStartButton.Click
 
xTimer.Stop()
 
End Sub
Private Sub TimeStartButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xTimeStartButton.Click

xTimer.Stop()

End Sub

I want the timer to switch on and off when i click the "timer start button"..i just want to have one button, that's why i didnt create "timer stop button"....

Re: Creating a moving button in vb 2005 Help

but now i want to use the button "start time button" as a switch to turn off and on the ticker if click...first it turns it on then off, etc.

This is what i got to start it

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
    Private Sub TimeStartButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xTimeStartButton.Click
 
        If Me.xTimeStartButton.Enabled = True Then
            Me.xTimer.Start()
        End If
    Private Sub TimeStartButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xTimeStartButton.Click

        If Me.xTimeStartButton.Enabled = True Then
            Me.xTimer.Start()
        End If

Re: Creating a moving button in vb 2005 Help

Ok, then try this in the button click:

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
If xTimer.Enabled = True Then
            xTimer.Stop()
            xTimer.Enabled = False
        ElseIf Timer1.Enabled = False Then
            xTimer.Enabled = True
            xTimer.Start()
        End If
If xTimer.Enabled = True Then
            xTimer.Stop()
            xTimer.Enabled = False
        ElseIf Timer1.Enabled = False Then
            xTimer.Enabled = True
            xTimer.Start()
        End If

P.S. You don't need to keep using all those "Me"s
