The tutorial that I’m going to teach you today is about creating a simple traffic lights in VB.Net. This is a simple program that can be done in an hour or less. A time interval is set in this program so it will work like the actual traffic lights. To see how it works, use the following code below.

Creating Application

Step 1

Open Microsoft Visual Basic 2015 and create a new windows form application. trafic123

Step 2

Do the form just like shown below. trafic231

Step 3

Double click the timer to fire the tick event handler of it. Then, add the following codes for changing the traffic lights.
  1.         Select Case Cnt
  2.             Case 0
  3.                 If Timer1.Interval = 2000 Then
  4.                     TextBox1.BackColor = Color.White
  5.                     TextBox2.BackColor = Color.White
  6.                     TextBox3.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 255, 0)
  7.  
  8.                     Cnt = 1
  9.                 Else
  10.                     Timer1.Interval = Timer1.Interval + 200
  11.                 End If
  12.             Case 1
  13.  
  14.                 If Timer1.Interval = 3000 Then
  15.                     TextBox3.BackColor = Color.White
  16.                     TextBox2.BackColor = Color.White
  17.                     TextBox1.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 0)
  18.                     Timer1.Interval = 1000
  19.                     Cnt = 2
  20.                 Else
  21.                     Timer1.Interval = Timer1.Interval + 200
  22.                 End If
  23.             Case 2
  24.                 If Timer1.Interval = 4000 Then
  25.                     TextBox3.BackColor = Color.White
  26.                     TextBox1.BackColor = Color.White
  27.                     TextBox2.BackColor = Color.Yellow
  28.                     Timer1.Interval = 1000
  29.                     Cnt = 0
  30.                 Else
  31.                     Timer1.Interval = Timer1.Interval + 200
  32.                 End If
  33.  
  34.  
  35.         End Select
  36.         Me.Text = Now()

Step 4

Do the following codes to start changing traffic lights when the button is clicked.
  1.    
  2.     Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
  3.         Cnt = 0
  4.         Timer1.Start()
  5.         Timer1.Interval = 2000
  6.     End Sub
