How to use the timer control in Visual Basic?

To use the timer control in VB, you can follow these steps:

1. Place a timer control on the form. Find the Timer control in the toolbox and drag it onto the form.
2. Double click on the timer control to enter its Tick event handler.
3. Write the code to be executed when the timer triggers in the Tick event handler. For example, you can update the time display on the form each time the timer triggers.

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
    Label1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss")
End Sub

1. Start the timer in the Load event of the form.

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Timer1.Start()
End Sub

In this way, the timer will trigger the Tick event at the set time interval, executing the corresponding code.
