Damn time variable.... *RESOLVED*

[VisionIT]

Hey peeps.

I've just moved from VB6, and it seems half the standard variables don't work anymore!!!

I'm trying to format the contents of a textbox to time format, like this...

textbox.text = format(time, "h:mm")

and all I get is "time not declared"....

Any ideas, cause i'm not firing on all cylinders 2nite

Try this..

TextBox.Text=Format(Now, "hh:mm")

HTH

Thanx... but i've tried that, and all it does it put the time in the text box

I'm really confused!

Say I have "21.5" in the text box, which obviously makes no sense like that, so I need it to read as "21 hours 30 minutes" etc etc

Thanx

Ahh, I see what your're trying to do.

Try this one.

(I am using a constant as the time but you can cdbl(Textbox.Text))

Const cTime As Double = 21.5

        Dim ts As New TimeSpan
        Dim t As DateTime
        Dim sTime As New System.Text.StringBuilder

        t = ts.FromHours(cTime).ToString

        sTime.Append(t.Hour & " Hours ")
        sTime.Append(t.Minute & " Minutes ")

        TextBox1.Text = sTime.ToString

That works nicely, cheers.
