Aamir Mustafa

i want to write something on label control in run time
i draw ten label controls on the form
and i have placed a button on the form
i want to write text on each label at a time
when i press button first time then text should be displayed on label1 and when i press button second time then text should be displayed on the second label and so on
when i use this code then it displays text on the all labels
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Label1.Text = "a"

Hi,

these lables creation dynamic or static? if it static then you just need to refer to the lable name. If it dynamic you may want to use Control Array.

You need to declare a form level variable to keep track of how many times the button has been pressed and then to reset it after it's been pressed 10 times.

   Private ButtonPushes As Integer = 0

   Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

       ButtonPushes = ButtonPushes + 1
       If ButtonPushes > 10 Then ButtonPushes = 1
       Select Case ButtonPushes
           Case 1
               Label1.Text = "a"
           Case 2
               Label2.Text = "g"
           ' Other cases
       End Select
   End Sub
