How can I make a timer return to its initial value and reflect in label?

Question

I am working with C#. I have a pictureBox that every 30 seconds change its image. There are a total of 8 images but the problem is that when I finish changing all the images I don't know how to make the timer return to 0 and be reflected in a Label and start running the images again.

Does this answer your question? [How to reset a timer in C#?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1042312/how-to-reset-a-timer-in-c) — The2Step, Jul 14 '22 at 13:46
I suspect you do not want to "reset the timer" but rather the variable where you store the current image index. But hard to tell without seeing any code. — Klaus Gütter, Jul 14 '22 at 14:19

You can reset the timer using the code:

myTimer.stop();
myTimer.start();

Just change the [myTimer] to your timer's control name.

Also you could check up this documentation: Timer.stop

Si lo restablece a 0 pero despues cambia al valor al que se que quedo anteriormente ejemplo, lo pause en 20, lo reinicio y me aparece 0, 21, 22, 23 y asi sucesivamente – Gonzalez Casillas Maria Isabel Jul 14 '22 at 13:57

Este es el extracto de codigo que soluciono mi duda: int timeleft = 1; private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (timeleft > 0) { timeleft = timeleft + 1; label1.Text = timeleft + ""; } if (label1.Text == "40") { timeleft = 1; } } – Gonzalez Casillas Maria Isabel Jul 14 '22 at 15:29

In VB

Private ImgListPath As List(Of String) '8
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
    Static whPicIdx As Integer = 0
    Dim ct As Integer = ImgListPath.Count
    PictureBox1.Load(ImgListPath(whPicIdx))
    whPicIdx += 1
    If whPicIdx >= ct Then
        whPicIdx = 0
    End If
End Sub
