Answer 1

One way of doing it is:



First you need to generate random numbers from 1 to 5 and store the value in an integer variable. Then all you have to do is use a swicth case in a timer object. Set the timer object to execute as often as you want the pictures to change,



i.e.



switch (randomNum)

{

case 1:

picBox.picture("Picture1")

break



case 2:

picBox.picture("Picture2")

break



etc...

}





This is pseudocode but you get the point!

Answer 3

You would need an array with the path to all your pics. EG:



Public picArr (1 to 4) as string

Public PicCount as integer

Private Sub Form_Load()

picArr(1)="c:/me.jpg"

picArr(2)="c:/myDog.jpg"

picArr(3)="c:/Airport.jpg"

picArr(4)="c:/pics/Madagascar.jpg"

PicCount=4

End Sub



Public Sub ChangePicture ()

dim x as decimal

x=rand(Now())

x=x*(picCount-1)

x=x+1

picBox1.picture=openpicture (picArr(cint(x)))

end sub



I think that's right... I stand to be corrected.

Hope you get it right,

Matt :)
