Visual basic question. need help !

bernardamaac.

im using visual basic 2010 edition im making a program that lets a user place up to 10 order's for new computers (College project) .

Ok il explain what i have done.Main form I have The username/password set up to accept 2 usernames/passwords as thats all i want for now.
I have a remember me check box set up and quit button done. I also have a group box that isnt coded yet.

Now what i want to be able to do is to code the login button so that :
(1) if someone types in the wrong password/username a pop up appears saying password/username invalid.
(2) I want everything to be hidden once the person logges in.
(3) Group box on the main form this is going to be hidden so that when the person logges in it becomes unhidden all while its on the main form to keep from taking too long to load.
(4) i also have a timer added to group box to show date and time which i also have to have the user's username appear in the group box straight from txtUsername.

Will update!
Code so far :
Public Class frmMain

Private Sub frmMain_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
If chkRemember.Checked = True Then 'If remember me box is checked then Username + password will be saved When ending program.
My.Settings.Username = txtUsername.Text
My.Settings.password = txtPassword.Text
Else
My.Settings.Username = "" 'If remember box isnt checked when ending the program then the txt boxes will be cleared
My.Settings.password = ""
End If
End Sub

Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
txtUsername.Text = My.Settings.Username '
txtPassword.Text = My.Settings.password
End Sub

Private Sub btnQuit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnQuit.Click
Me.Close() 'Quit = close
End Sub

Private Sub btnLogin_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLogin.Click

End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles timerLogin.Tick
lblTime.Text = "Time: " + TimeString ' Puts the current time in lbltime
lblDate.Text = "Date: " + DateString ' puts the current date in lblDate
End Sub
End Class
Will add more.

something.visible = false

and

something.visible = true

To pop up a message box with options just go:

MsgBox "blah blah", OPTION_QUIT

or something like that, read the documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/139z2azd(v=vs.90).aspx (see example section)

Would also help if you said what kind of VB you are talking about.

"something.visible = false

and

something.visible = true"
Im guessing i put that in for the login code and put group box.visible.true and say the rest of the stuff visible false ?

"To pop up a message box with options just go:
MsgBox "blah blah", OPTION_QUIT"
should be easy enough this bit im using visual basic 2010 express edition.

Ok il re-write my question the way you want.

1. Call MsgBox in login event.

2. stuff.visible = false (once login event succeeds)

3. groupbox.visible = true (once login event succeeds)

4. userlabel.visible = false (on startup), userlabel.visible =true (once login event succeeds)
