Can't start timer.

[Mugsy323]

I created my own File Copy dialog (had to) and I'm trying to use a timer to add a simple 5-frame animation.

I created a form and placed a Timer object on it. The timer is set to Enabled with an interval of 150 (I also tried 15.)

When I call the form, the timer never starts (I placed a breakpoint in the "_Tick" event to confirm.)

I call the form from another form using:

frmCopy.Activate()
frmCopy.Timer1.Enabled = True
BackupData()                    ' Backup settings.

BackupData() IS executed. It contains frmCopy.Show() & frmCopy.Refresh()

frmCopy's code:

Public Class frmCopy

    Private Sub frmCopy_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Timer1.Enabled = True
        Timer1.Start()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        intTick += 1
        If intTick > 5 Then intTick = 1
        picCopyAni.Image = imgCopyAni.Images.Item(intTick)
    End Sub

End Class

A breakpoint in the form_Load confirms it loads just fine, but a breakpoint in the timer event is never tripped and I have no idea why.

Any help is appreciated.
