You'll have to be a bit more specific...

This is my answer to your vague 1-liner:
Create a scrollbar control and set the max and min intervals you want, create a timer control, in the scrollbar's onchange or onscroll procedure, simply set the timer's interval value to the scrollbar's value.

If that means when you scroll the scrollbar from side to side the timer's interval value changes, then yes.

double click on your scroll bar and the code window opens. then try something like so:


Timer1.Interval = Timer1.Interval + 10

everytime u use the scroll bar the timer interval will increase by 10

hope that helps

cool dude's method works if you don't want to set a maximum and minimum interval that the user can set, but the actual scroll bar may look a little weird that way.

What I suggested works if you need to set a min/max.

(A min might be necessary... you don't want a negative interval.)

Would it be better to use a trackbar instead? Or do you need it to be vertical?
