VERY Simple Question !!!

This may sound a little stupid... I have used VB for a while... But i don't know how too use Timers... I need a timer that counts down 3 seconds, write's som text in a textbox and then start the procedure over again... Please HELP :D

dim a as long

form_load()
a = 0
end sub

timer1_Interval()
a = a +1

if a >= 8 'or anynumber
text1.text = "What ever you want"
a = 0
'if you want to reset text too
'text1.text = ""
end if

end sub

actually this would make more sense:

VB Code:

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
MsgBox "3 seconds passed, so do something here!"
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
Timer1.Interval = 1000 '1000 = 1 seconds, maximum is 65535 i think
End Sub

Maybe


in forms_load event

Code:

---

Timer1.Interval = 3000

---

and in timer1_timer event

Code:

---

Text1.text = 'put whatver text u want here

---

Thanks Guys... It REALLY helped :D
Now those damn timer controls makes MUCH more sense ;)
