Hi there folks...

Just wondering if someone can help a newbie to VB!?

I'm running some stuff in a For loop. Each time the loop runs it makes
a change to a value which it should display in a label. My problem is
that when I run the loop, say 100 times, the label only shows the
100th change. It doesn't update the label every time the change has
been made! I realise that what I want the VB to do sounds pointless in
that the label would change so fast that it wouldnt be readable... BUT
once I get this working I intend to make the label a coloured box that
doesnt show the value, but a colour indicating the range that the
value is in. By my reckoning, the way I have it now would make it only
show the colour of the last value updated before the loop exited.

Any help would be gratefully recieved.

Add Label.Refresh after you set Label's caption a new text.

Screen refreshing is a resource-hangry process and the OS (Windows) gives it
low CPU priority unless your code demands it (Label.Refresh).
