Showing time in textbox ???

[Basseman]

How on earth do i show the actual time as text and not as messagebox ??

Msgbox (Time (Now)) Shows in Msgbox

But how to implement in a Textbox or as regular Text ???

Thanx, but it only shows what the time is when i start the app and not updating it.

Will try to solve it by myself but some hints whould be nice =)

Just add a timer to your form, set the timer interval to around 200...
Put these lines in...

Sub Timer1_tick
textbox1.Tetx=Time(Now))
End Sub

Ghaaa, i must be a total idiot but can't get it to work..
Did as u said, added Timer and set it to 200..
Whats wrong:

Sub Globals
'Declare the global variables here.

End Sub
Sub App_start

Form1.show
label1.FontSize = 32

End Sub



Sub Timer1_Tick

label1.text=Time(Now)

End Sub

Sub Globals
'Declare the global variables here.

End Sub
Sub App_start

Form1.show
label1.FontSize = 32
Timer1.Enabled=True
End Sub



Sub Timer1_Tick

label1.text=Time(Now)

End Sub

You MUST do some researh in the help files...That way you would have noticed that the timer cantrol can be turned off/on

Do you know that there does exist a help file ?

Timers are used to generate events every measured time.
When a Timer is created its Enabled property is set to false.
To start the Timer, set its Enabled property to true.
Properties and Methods:
Enabled
Interval
Events:
Tick

You must enable the Timer with
Timer1.Enabled = True

Best regards.

The Timer should be On by the default one can think........

What about reading the help file instead of "missreading" other code snipplets?

I cant' see any timer here. Maybe you have added it in the desingner but where do you set the timer value and where do you activate it?

Small hint: The excellent help files could be found here and ind the IDE within the menu "Help".

So a good starting point to your question would be the tickevent.

Edit: Sorry Cableguy and Klaus: a bit late, but the same intention...
