Hi Steve, Thanks for the sample code. I was able to come up with something quite similar to what you have posted.
One question still remains, though. I tried to issue a timer.stop() command when for example, all the text values have been displayed in the label control, but the timer event does not seem to stop. How to specifically stop the timer once all the messages have been displayed? Thanks.
