I have a button that when it is pressed I want to start a timer that flashes a label while the rest of the button1 click event is proccessed. I have read that a timer works on it’s own thread so I should be able to run both threads asynchronly. As of now the label flashes as expected but it doesn’t start unting all of the button 1 click is finished. How can I make this work at the same time. I am a newbie so please help.<\/p>\n
Here is my code.<\/p>\n
