Hi

Is it possible or in VB to make a countdown timer that the user could see that would display time counting down for eg. 5 sec to 0 sec.


Thanks

Yes, it is. Do you need to see code?

Looks like you do. Build a form with a timer control and a label. Then apply this code:

Dim TimeSec As Integer
Private Sub Form_Load()
Timer1.Interval = 1000
Label1.Caption = 10 ' Set this to the starting time in seconds.
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
TimeSec = CInt(Label1.Caption)
If TimeSec < 1 Then MsgBox "Time is up." Else Label1.Caption = Trim(TimeSec - 1)
End Sub

WDYT?
