[RESOLVED] TIME - n00b ques

[Harsh Gupta]

hi all!!
i just wanted to ask how to display the clock in the project........ i know to use

Label1.Caption = Time()

but it will display only the instance of time (the time when i will press F5 or run the code).......i want it to keep ticking like the one in the system tray of my computer.

plz help....thnx

i'm pretty sure you would have to use a timer to refresh it every second

[Harsh Gupta]

but sorry i do not know how to refresh any control??? isn't there any in-built (within Time func) to keep it updating automatically??

ok i got it.......use a timer control and set its interval to 500 n use this:

Private Sub tmrClock_Timer()
     If lblClock.Caption <> Time Then
          lblClock.Caption = Time
     End If
End Sub
