I'm working on the game of Concentration. When you match 2 squares I want to blink a label caption "MATCH" say 3 or 4 times then hide it. The problem is I want the program to stop until the blinking ends then continue. I use a timer to make the caption blink but am not sure how to stop the program until the blinking is done. Any help would be appreciated!

Jump to Postu can show the blinking label in a separate form. when users match the squares disable current form(me.enable=false) and then display the form with blinking label in vbmodal mode(form2.show vbmodal).after the specified time of blinking disable the timer(timer1.interval=0),close the form(unload me) and enable the game form(form1.enable=true).

So what you are saying is there is no way to blink a lable on the form that is showing, say for 3 to 5 seconds, then hide the lable and continue with the program.
Hmmm....I'll have to do a little more searching on this one.
Thanks for the reply

I found the answer I was looking for in a post by sendoshin titled Problem with timer(urgent). Here he discusses several VERY GOOD ways to use the timer in VB
