Time. . . is on the esscence

[Drinky]

My brain stopped working this afternoon. . . :-(

I can't figure out how to change a number of milliseconds into day's minutes hours and seconds.

for example 5400 milliseconds = 0 Days, 1 Hours, 30 Mins, 00 Seconds

Got a piece of code that does this in C++ that i wrote ages ago but for some odd reason it doesn't seem to work.

Email me the C++ code, I'll take a look at it and see what needs to be converted to VB.

I must be missing something. if there are 1000 milliseconds in a second, then 5400 milliseconds is 5.4 seconds, not 1.5 hours. but some quick math in my head indicates that 5400 seconds = 1.5 hours, or 5,400,000 milliseconds = 1.5 hours.

So milliseconds/1000 = seconds

milliseconds/60,000=minutes

milliseconds/3,600,000=hours

milliseconds/(24*3,600,000)=days (I didn't want to do that one in my head)

Am I right, or what? It seems like my brain is on right, but then, if it wasn't, how would I know? Anyway, I hope this helps and I hope you find your brain.

Like I said bad day :-)

5400 seconds is 1.5 hours :-)
you are indeed correct.

How ever bob. . .

what I want is clock format time. . .
your solution will give me.

5,400,000 Milliseconds = 5,400 Seconds, = 90 Minutes = 1.5 hours = 0.0625 Days

Which is not what I want.

I want a function that when given a figure of 5400000 milliseconds will return

0 days 1:30:00

The C++ code I have for this doesn't do the days part and only converts from seconds (it is but a simple matter to get seconds from milliseconds) but i diddn't need that at the time. Here it is:

void get_time_from_seconds(long time, int& h, int& m, int& s)
{
    int tMins = time / 60;
	h = ( tMins / 60) % 24;
	m = tMins % 60;
	s = time % 60;
}

Then how about something simple like:

1.) new program

2.) add a timer (at 1000 interval) and a text box

3.) put this code in:

Dim S
Dim M
Dim H
Dim D


Private Sub Form_Load()
S = 0
M = 0
H = 0
D = 0
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
S = S + 1
If S >= 60 Then
S = 0
M = M + 1
Else
End If
If M >= 60 Then
M = 0
H = H + 1
Else
End If
If H >= 24 Then
H = 0
D = D + 1
Else
End If
Text1.Text = D & " days " & H & ":" & M & " " & S
End Sub

4.) run it.

I'll admit it wasn't simple, and it took me a fair bit of time to figure it out, and it probably isn't what you want, so I'll just go cry now. Sigh

Cheers Bob, I'll give it a whirl
