Vb.net Newbie code for accumulating seconds and converting to Hours minutes seconds

Bert Murphy

Im trying to write code that would have seconds for the input,convert the seconds to the hours:minutes:seconds,accumulate the hours:minutes:seconds to a maximum of 999Hours:59Minutes:59Seconds as long as the user inputs more seconds.Then roller over to 0:0:0 and continue. Also need to be able to subtract from the accumulated value. Any help would be appreciated.

What problem are you having? Have you tried using an input and event with a calculation?

Yes the code i have so far is:

input is "seconds"


'find the hours
hoursInteger = (hoursInteger + (seconds \ 3600)) Mod 1000
'find the minutes
minutesInteger = (minutesInteger + (secondsInteger + seconds) \ 60) Mod 60
'find the seconds
secondsInteger = (secondsInteger + seconds) Mod 60

when the time is at 0:59:59, and add 1 second I'm getting 0:0:0.
Also having trouble subtracting from the accumulated value.

It seems the hours are the problem, adding one second should give you zero minutes and seconds. Sometimes in these situations zero is first number used so that is not going to change until two hours, when one hour would be displayed. HTH.
