The code to be executed is placed in the Timer event. See: ◄Timer Event► ■ The time interval at which the Timer event occurs is determined by the Interval property. See: ◄Interval Property► ■ To activate a timer, set its Enabled property to True (-1) and set the Interval property to a nonzero value. At run time, the timer event occurs at the specified interval, although the control itself is invisible to the user. To deactivate a timer, set its Enabled property to False (0). See: ◄Enabled Property► ■ Visual Basic supports up to 16 timers. Attempting to start a timer when none are available causes a run-time error.
