A question about a stuck label

[Guest]

Hello all!

I'm having a problem with a stuck label. I have two applications, one that
runs on a server, the other a client. The server application controls all of
the forms that open on the client side. they close either by the user or by a
timer.

So on the client computer, I have form1 running. The label will pop up on
top of Form 1. Sometimes Form2 will show before the label timer close the
label. So the label is now stuck and will stay there. So the timer got
interupted, and now the timer won't run to close out the label. I thought
the timer ran on a seperate thread?

Any ideas on how I can make sure the label close out, even f a form pops up
on top of it?

Thanks!

Rudy

Are you using a System.Timers.Timer class?

Hi Kevin!

Yes I am. I been thinking about this. I thought maybe I would create a
form, and have the label fill the form. Then I will control the form instead
of the label. I think I might have some more control of closing that form
with out being dependent on anything. What do you think?

I think your idea of a separate thread (use a BackgroundWorker class
instance) is the best.
