[RESOLVED] Increase/Decrease the time in a text box

I want to increase the mins/hours/seconds in a text box which holds the time. How is this done?

Thanks

Use a Timer...

VB Code:

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    Text1.Text = Format$(Now,"hh:mm:ss")
End Sub

:)

No, I want to change it. It is an input. I want to have a button to make the hours/mins increase or decrease. Thanks though :)

Why a textbox and not a label???

Woka

Well ok, a label then. Whatever...can it be done?

yep, use the DateAdd function (see VB help for the various parameters you can use)

Yea, use MS datepicker control...windows common control 2 :D
Just set the format to display time and you're away :D

umm can you please give me an example how?

This will add 32 seconds to "my_date":

my_date = dateadd("s",32,my_date)

see VB help for the list of parameters you can use ;)

Thanks, I'll be home in about an hour so I'll try it then.

I am confused...:confused:
Why go through all that trouble when there is a VB control that has already been invented that will do exactally what you want...?
