Hello everyone!
I am using C # windows application.
I have one picture in the form. When the program starts, the picture should move from right to left, then from left to right, and that's as long as the program works. The dimensions of my form are: 816; 488.
I have that code BUT it only goes right and stops. :(
That's why I created 2 timers.

What I have tried:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
int x = 408, y = 244;
void goBack(int x)
{
if (x >= 1)
{
x--;
timerleft.Start();
}
else
return;
goBack(x);
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
timeFirst.Interval = 1;
timerleft.Interval = 1;
timeFirst.Start();
timerleft.Start();
}

private void timeFirst_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
lblanvanum.SetBounds(x, y, 408, 244);
x++;
if (x > 700)
{
timeFirst.Stop();
goBack(x);
}
}
}

This is quite a simple issue and only needs one loop. Start by displaying the object at the left of the screen. Set the 'move' value to +1, and start the timer. Each timer interrupt, move the object 'move' measures, i.e. add 'move' to the x position of the left edge and redraw. If 'move' is +1, check if the right edge has reached the end of the Window, and if so set the 'move' value to -1. If 'move' is -1 and the left edge has reached the left of the form reset the 'move' value to +1. This will then continue until you stop the program.

Thank you very much.

As Richard said, this is pretty simple, but, imho, a program that shows a moving picture until it exits is almost always annoying.

If you want the user to be able to do "other things" while the picture is being displayed, doing that in the SAME Form means you'll have to run it in a separate thread.

Well, thank you very much.
