Car Timer

It would be better if you uploaded the source as a file.
-As then i would be able to test and see the problem myself

Thanks for the reply. I 'll show what I'm working with with maybe that will make it a bit clearer. I think it may be my delaycount at the start which is causing the problem, what do you think?

Hello,


If your desire is to move an image using the PictureBox then all you need to do is:


//At the end of the if statement add

pictureBox1.Location = new Point(pictureBox1.Location.X + 1, pictureBox1.Location.Y);

//This will increase the  X  position of the pictureBox by 1 each time the timer tick.
//It won't look so natural as you might desire but it's what I believe you ask for
