timer tick count...

[dtvonly]

I am using (in VB6) the Timer1 function to read data in at 10 seconds interval. How do I continue to display the seconds in a text box before the 10 seconds interval is reached? Example:

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 --> collects data
11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 --> collects data
21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30 --> collects data

and so on...

thanks.

A few ways here are two.
1. Use a counter and set your timer interval to 1 second. Display your seconds & increment counter. When the counter hits 10, reset it and collect your data.
2. Use a 2nd timer

Note that if your data collection takes more than a second, the timer(s) may not update your seconds display as desired. Timers are very low priority and are generally called when no other actions in your program are pending.
