Time Ticker - howto?

how can I make a time counter?

You'd have to be much more descriptive than that - what time you need to count, interval (seconds, minutes, hours, days ...) ...

I think this is what he's talking about.

No that's a diffrent project...

I am building an app to connect to MySQL Server and I wan't to put in the status bar a clock counter to count how much time the user is connected to the remote databse...

p.s.
The format of the clock is like this: 00:00:00

Put a timer control on your form and copy/paste this sample:

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Timer1.Interval = 1000
    Timer1.Enabled = True
    Label1.AutoSize = True
    Label1.Caption = "Elapsed time since login: 00:00:00"
End Sub
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Static lSeconds&
Dim sTime$
 
    lSeconds = lSeconds + 1
    sTime = Str$(lSeconds \ 3600) & ":" & _
            Str$(lSeconds \ 60) & ":" & _
            Str$(lSeconds Mod 60)
    Label1.Caption = "Elapsed time since login: " & Format(CDate(sTime), "hh:nn:ss")
 
End Sub

Thanks RhinoBull!

Not at all. Any time. :wave:
