i assume i got you right... all you need is an integer and a timer additional to your textbox and button...
steps:
-set your timers properties(interval to 1000 , enabled to false)
-public the variable as 0(type "public myvar as integer=0" out of procedures)
-then tell your timer to add 1 to i
-and type(if myvar=10 then yourtextbox.text = "type here" : timer1.enabled =false
-set the timer enabled=true when clicked tothe button

Ps: post your code if you have one so i can fix it

There is my code:

Code:

---

Public Class Form1
    Public myvar As Integer = 0
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        RichTextBox1.AppendText("Scanning...")

        Timer1.Enabled = True


    End Sub
    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        If myvar = 10 Then
            RichTextBox1.AppendText("Fix Errors...")
            Timer1.Enabled = False
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

---

But "Fix Errors..." not appear...

Timer1 settings: false / interval: 1000

Try this:

Code:

---


Public Class Form1
    Public myvar As Integer = 0
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        RichTextBox1.AppendText("Scanning...")

        Timer1.Enabled = True


    End Sub
    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        If myvar = 10 Then
            RichTextBox1.AppendText("Fix Errors...")
            Timer1.Enabled = False
        Else
            myvar = Val(myvar) + 1
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

You're supposed to increment the integer "myvar" by one if "myvar" is not equal to 10.

Hope this helps.. :)

I guess Public myvar should be equal to 10 in this case.

.

Edit : Oops sorry, thought that the timer was set to 10000. :blush:

glad to help
