Resolved: VB2005, how to refresh labels/textboxes

[Og_ofthejungle]

Hi.

I remember that in VB5 there was an "auto-redraw" property that needed to be turned on in order to make certain features refresh themselves. I'm having trouble with getting labels and text boxes to change in VB2005.

A sample code snip would be

Label1.text = "Zero"
Sleep (1000)
Label1.text = "One"
Sleep (1000)
Label1.text = "Two"
Sleep (1000)
... 
Label1.text = "Five"
EndSub

Which should make Label1.text count upwards at one-second intervals.

When I run the code, however, Label1.text shows "Zero" for five seconds, then says "Five" when the subroutine ends. How can I make the label refresh after each change?

If I use a textbox instead of a label, the same thing happens.

(this uses the API call "Sleep" to insert a pause, declaration not shown here)

Any thoughts?
