Vb6 frmlogin help

[Esand15]

Hey im having trouble with a frmlogin for VB6. I have my password and everthing set up but i want to have a timer on it so after 30 mins if the password isnt in correctly a message displays along with a wav. file that is played. Also is it possible so nothing else can be done without typing the password in ( meaning you cant open other files and things.) if not then thats fine i just want the timer to work. Thanks

30 minutes! is that a typo and should be 30 seconds?

If it is 30 minutes, why so long?

What about getting say 5 attempts to login before the app unloads etc.

Thanks, Yeah it was a typo lol. But instead can i have it 3 attempts, i never thought of doing it like that. So there would be a label saying how many times you have left and everytime you put an incorrect password in it gives a message as long as playing a wav. file. (if the wav. file will take you to much time then dont worry about it, If it is possible.) But if dont get it the first 3 times you have to wait 30secs. Thanks for the help

here, you need 2 command buttons,2 labels, 2 text boxes and 2 timers

Private Sub Command1_Click()
If Text1 = "test" And Text2 = "text" Then
MsgBox "login"
Else
Label2 = Label2 + 1
End If
 
End Sub
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
 
Label1 = Label1 - 1
If Label1.Caption = "0" Then
MsgBox "ok try again"
Timer1.Enabled = False
Label1.Caption = "30"
Label2.Caption = "0"
Command1.Enabled = True
Else
End If
 
 
End Sub
 
Private Sub Timer2_Timer()
If Label2 = "3" Then
Timer1.Enabled = True
Command1.Enabled = False
End If
 
End Sub

Do i create a standard exe. then put it in or do i then select new from and login dialog?

[trinic]

just create a new standard project and then put the controls that I listed above. Double click one of the controls, highlight all the text you see and then paste what I have listed above. You then need to set the two label captions to 0 (in the properties menu)

Okay thanks alot. I got it to work

[Esand15]

Ok I need one more thing. How do i get the message box that appears bigger, and the textin it bigger? Sorry for the double post.

Use a form, put labels and command buttons on it and set the font size for the labels. Or look for posts on subclassing messageboxes, which is a lot more difficult.

i think it would be easier to make a new form and put it how you want it, then where it says msgbox "whatever" , change that line to form2.show
