This app has been running for (time) =HOW TO DO?!!=

How do I display a live clock, updated every second, that shows how long you have been running the current application? Come on guys, I know it's possible...

I don't understood very well, you want put this code in your form/mdi or in a clock out the app, like allways visible?

Put a timer on the form and set it's interval to 100. Then do the following:

Code:

---

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

    Static m_dTotal As Double
    Static m_dStart As Double
    Static m_dCurrent As Double
    Dim x As Integer
   
    m_dStart = Timer  ' Set start time.
   
    Do
        m_dCurrent = Timer - m_dStart
        x = x + 1
        If x = 500 Then
            Text1.Text = "Working for " & HoursAndMinutes(m_dTotal + m_dCurrent)
            x = 0
        End If
        DoEvents    ' Yield to other processes.
    Loop

End Sub

I forgot to include the HoursAndMinutes routine. Here it is.

Code:

---

Public Function HoursAndMinutes(dSeconds) As String

    HoursAndMinutes = Format(dSeconds \ 3600, "00") & ":" _
                    & Format(((dSeconds \ 60) Mod 60), "00") & ":" _
                    & Format(dSeconds Mod 60, "00")
   
End Function
