 |
|
hey all, im tryin to make a count down timer. a good example would be a count down timer that tells you how many weeks, days, hours,minutes and seconds it is till christmas. had a go at it with a timer but no joy cos theres a max interval on the timer. also tired usin the Date and TIme bit to display it in a label. this kinda worked when i used a timer with interval of 100ms (1 second) to keep refreshin the form to display the correct time and date, then used an if statement to set off an alarm or play a sound when the time is equal to **:**:**.
anyone got any ideas?

Do you like the format it is displayed with? Just have that format in a label?

I'll have a look at it. It will be hard (if not imposible) to remove them by pressing delete...
