Question

I’m looking to find out that when a user, enters their pin and clicks enter a message box displays saying processing your details. How would i then close that message box using a timer control? I have all the code to proceed to the next form or display another message box saying you have entered the incorrect pin, just looking to close the message box via a time control.

Answer 1

Try to avoid closing the message box from another location, but do the processing in the ‘message box’:

• Create your own form with your message and OK button (for example). You cannot use ShowMessageBox.
• Call your own created form as ShowDialog
• Create a timer
• Do the processing (inside the form)
• When the timer reaches the wanted amount of time (or when processing is done), close the dialog
