  Hello,
  
  I have am opened form 'frmColours' with a timer on it,  I can start the timer from the MDI but the code in the event  timer_tick has no effect at all... it is executed but there is no effect...
  Can you please tell me why and how can i change the caption of a label or any kind change using mdi or code in the tick event?
  Thank you
  
  MDI Code:
  
  

  1	Private Sub ToolStripButton1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton1.Click
  2
  3	For Each f As Form In My.Application.OpenForms
  4	If Not f.InvokeRequired Then
  5	Select Case f.Name
  6	Case "frmColour"
  7
  8	'f.Controls.Item("txtSearchDescription").Text = "test"
  9	Dim objfrmx As New frmColour
  10	objfrmx.Timer1.Enabled = True
  11	objfrmx.txtSearchDescription.Text = "test"
  12
  13	End Select
  14	End If
  15	Next
  16
  17	end sub

  
  
  frmColour Code:
  
  

  Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)      Handles Timer1.Tick

  btnList.Visible = True

  txtSearchDescription.Text = "test"

  End Sub
