[RESOLVED] Align Text after certain amount (CountDown)

I have this code in Timer1:

vb Code:

Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
        Dim a As Integer
        Dim b As Integer
        a = Label2.Text
        b = 1
        Label2.Text = a - b
        If Label2.Text = "-1" Then
            Timer1.Stop() 'Stop timer, no more numbers
            PictureBox2.Visible = True
            Timer2.Stop() 'Stop timer, ENDED 10 SECONDS
            Label6.ForeColor = Color.Red
            Label7.ForeColor = Color.Green
            Label2.Text = "15" 'Starting 15 seconds countdown
            Timer1.Start()
            Timer3.Start()
        End If
    End Sub

I want that if the number in the label2 (coundown) is <=9 the position will be "224, 28" else "211, 28".
I added this code in all possible locations but it didn't seem to work..

vb Code:

If Label2.Text <= 9 Then
                Label2.Location = New Point(224, 28)
            Else
                Label2.Location = New Point(211, 28)
            End If

Help me.
Thank you.

try this:

vb Code:

Public Class Form1
 
    Dim counter As Integer = 15
 
    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        counter -= 1
        Label1.Text = counter.ToString
        Label1.Location = If(counter <= 9, New Point(224, 28), New Point(211, 28))
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Label1.Text = counter.ToString
        Label1.Location = New Point(211, 28)
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Timer1.Interval = 1000
        Timer1.Enabled = True
    End Sub
End Class

Thank you this code works but I have 3 timers and they need to be aligned too.
Check this code and see how it works for you and you will see what I mean:

All timers are Interval = 1000

vb Code:

Public Class DFUModeHelperII
 
    Dim counter As Integer = 3 '3 SECONDS (FIRST ONE)
    Dim counter1 As Integer = 10 '10 SECONDS (SECOND ONE)
    Dim counter2 As Integer = 15 '15 SECONDS (THIRD AND LAST ONE)
 
 
    Private Sub DFUModeHelperII_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Label2.Text = counter.ToString '3 SECONDS
        Label2.Location = New Point(224, 28)
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Timer1.Enabled = True 'BEGIN THE TIMER 3 SECONDS
        Button1.Enabled = False 'BUTTON DISABLED TO PREVENT RESET BEFORE THE TIMER FINISHES
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        counter -= 1 '-1 SECOND PER X
        Label2.Text = counter.ToString '3 SECONDS COUNTER TO STRING
        Label2.Location = If(counter <= 9, New Point(224, 28), New Point(211, 28)) 'ALIGN CENTER OF "SECONDS"
        If Label2.Text = "-1" Then
            Label2.Text = "10"
            Timer1.Enabled = False
            Timer2.Enabled = True
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
        counter1 -= 1 '-1 SECOND PER X
        Label2.Text = counter1.ToString '10 SECONDS COUNTER TO STRING
        Label2.Location = If(counter1 <= 9, New Point(224, 28), New Point(211, 28)) 'ALIGN CENTER OF "SECONDS"
        If Label2.Text = "-1" Then
            Timer2.Enabled = False
            Timer3.Enabled = True
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Timer3_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer3.Tick
        counter2 -= 1 '-1 SECOND PER X
        Label2.Text = counter2.ToString '15 SECONDS COUNTER TO STRING
        Label2.Location = If(counter2 <= 9, New Point(224, 28), New Point(211, 28)) 'ALIGN CENTER OF "SECONDS"
        If Label2.Text = "-1" Then
            Label2.Text = "3"
            Timer3.Enabled = False
            Button1.Enabled = True
            MsgBox("Congratularions" & Environment.NewLine & "You are now on DFU Mode!", "Congratulations", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

Help please.

Please someone help me.. I can't figure out how to align. Copy this code and you will see what I mean:
All timers are Interval = 1000

vb Code:

Public Class DFUModeHelperII
 
    Dim counter As Integer = 3 '3 SECONDS (FIRST ONE)
    Dim counter1 As Integer = 10 '10 SECONDS (SECOND ONE)
    Dim counter2 As Integer = 15 '15 SECONDS (THIRD AND LAST ONE)
 
 
    Private Sub DFUModeHelperII_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Label2.Text = counter.ToString '3 SECONDS
        Label2.Location = New Point(224, 28)
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Timer1.Enabled = True 'BEGIN THE TIMER 3 SECONDS
        Button1.Enabled = False 'BUTTON DISABLED TO PREVENT RESET BEFORE THE TIMER FINISHES
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        counter -= 1 '-1 SECOND PER X
        Label2.Text = counter.ToString '3 SECONDS COUNTER TO STRING
        Label2.Location = If(counter <= 9, New Point(224, 28), New Point(211, 28)) 'ALIGN CENTER OF "SECONDS"
        If Label2.Text = "-1" Then
            Label2.Text = "10"
            Timer1.Enabled = False
            Timer2.Enabled = True
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
        counter1 -= 1 '-1 SECOND PER X
        Label2.Text = counter1.ToString '10 SECONDS COUNTER TO STRING
        Label2.Location = If(counter1 <= 9, New Point(224, 28), New Point(211, 28)) 'ALIGN CENTER OF "SECONDS"
        If Label2.Text = "-1" Then
            Timer2.Enabled = False
            Timer3.Enabled = True
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Timer3_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer3.Tick
        counter2 -= 1 '-1 SECOND PER X
        Label2.Text = counter2.ToString '15 SECONDS COUNTER TO STRING
        Label2.Location = If(counter2 <= 9, New Point(224, 28), New Point(211, 28)) 'ALIGN CENTER OF "SECONDS"
        If Label2.Text = "-1" Then
            Label2.Text = "3"
            Timer3.Enabled = False
            Button1.Enabled = True
            MsgBox("Congratularions" & Environment.NewLine & "You are now on DFU Mode!", "Congratulations", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

Uhhh, I have a workaround. Set the "AutoSize" property of the label with the remaining second to "False", then resize it so the left border is touching the very edge of "you have", and the right edge is touching the very beginning of "remaining", then set the textAlign of the label to center. Now you shouldn't have to move the label at all, as it will place the text centered in the label.

Thank you!!
It worked like a charm and no code needed :) Just setting the properties...

P.S. I don't know why but I can't give rep to you... "You must spread reputation before..."

I think I helped you in a thread recently and you repped me there, so if you keep repping me it looks like favoritism :) Guess it's to stop people creating alternate accounts and rep spamming their main.
