how to move image in the form

gpriya · 2011-08-03

Hi,
Iam facing one problem. I created one form and in that I put one label and one command button. I wrote the code in the command button as follows.

IF i = 0 THEN
REPEAT
CurrForm.Image.XPOS := i;
SLEEP(10);
i += 1;
UNTIL i = 10000;

when i click the command button the label is not moving slowly. once the loop is completed then only it is jumped from X position 0 to 10000. It is not moving slowly.

How can I show the label with slow movement.

Thanks in Advance,
Priya

Instead of sleep I would use the timer of the form.
Set the TimerInterval property of the form and put your logic in the OnTimer trigger.

try with increase sleep time.

the problem is that the controls arent refreshed while in the loop from what i can see.

you could try a currform.updatecontrols or a currform.update

Yes, you need to force currform.update to "redraw" the form, else it will update after the process finishes...

But it will continiously execute to timer trigger unless we don't press command button that can be cause to performance of form ...!!

better is to use currform.update or currform.updatecontrol.

to be honest, personally i wouldn't put animations in NAV at all.

Hi,
Thanks for your replies. I tried Currform.Update & Currform.Updatecontrols inside the loop. But it is not working in this case.

Regards,
Priya
