For your question, you could use Thread.Sleep() to get what you want.

   private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Thread.Sleep(3000);
            label1.Visible = false;
        }

.

@Wendy, it's not a good idea to use a 3 second Thread.Sleep in a button click ... that would make the Form unresponsive for those 3 seconds!!

Use a timer.

      System.Windows.Forms.Timer timerHideLabel = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();

      private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
         timerHideLabel.Interval = 5000; // Five seconds.
         timerHideLabel.Tick += TimerHideLabel_Tick;
         timerHideLabel.Start();
      }

      private void TimerHideLabel_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
         labelToHide.Visible = false;
         timerHideLabel.Stop();
      }

Hi arman_gorjipoor,

Thank you for posting here.

For your question, you could use Thread.Sleep() to get what you want.

   private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Thread.Sleep(3000);
            label1.Visible = false;
        }

Here is the output.

I hope this would be helpful.

Best Regards,

Wendy
