Answered Timer

[Martins]

Hi all.

I have a problem that I wonder if someone could give me a help.
I need to create and display a timer that knew how many hours / second had passed since the program had been called.
Sera that someone can help me?
Best regards

It's hard to say what you really mean, but:

1. Use ETIME to do simple time counting, eg.

DEF VAR t AS I.
t = ETIME (TRUE). /* resets to zero */
/* a bunch of stuff goes here */
MESSAGE ETIME - t. /* shows how many milliseconds that took */

2. Progress non-interruptive PAUSE.

3. Windows .NET / ActiveX interruptive timer controls.

4. Unix 'sleep', maybe even 'cron'.

Thanks for your replly.
But how can i put those milliseconds in a format like hh:mm ?

I always just use it in milliseconds but I think 'DISP STRING(INT(i/1000),"HH:MM:SS")' works...
