Hello.
Could anybody suggest a way to create a timer?
I want to timer to be displayed to the user, telling he or she how much time
has passed.
Thanks.

Jeff,
That is not a timer as we are used in dotNet, that is more a tickcounter
In my opinion is the most simple one
\\\
dim start as integer = environment.tic kcount
dim ended as integer = environment.tic kcount - start
///
This ticks are in milliseconds.
However you can as well use the timespan and than use the Now every time for
currenttime and date http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...classtopic.asp
I hope this helps,

Take a look at 'System.Windows .Forms.Timer' and the 'DateTime' datatype.

Timer??? There is a timer control in the toolbox if you are talking about
winform.

A timer can be used to periodically raise an event (and update the display
with the time passed).

Thank you for letting me know that, you could not know that, however I
already knew that.
In my opinion is a timer not to measure the passed time.
Or do they use in Austria alarm clocks to measure the time at sport events.

A "timer" in the programming world is different than a "timer" in the real
world.
In the real world, let's call anything that counts up from zero a stopwatch
or a clock, depending on the context.
To show the elapsed time on a form control, stpwatch style, you would need
two separate items: the current time and the starting time.
In the form class, declare:
dim StartTime as datetime
Load the starting time in the form's .Load handler like this:
StartTime=now
you then use a timer object (drop it in the form's desiner from the toolbar)
and in the timer's tick event, do something like this:
form.text=(now-starttime).tost ring
this will update the title bar of your form with the elapsed time since the
form was opened. I would suggest setting the timer's interval to 1000.

Tom,
That was I telling to Herfried, why are you telling this to me.
When you answer a message in this newsgroup it is done by adding that too
the original question.
Not that it there is something wrong with it, however your answer is almost
the same as my original answer.
Therefore I am curious what you want to say to me.

Everything appears to be great in doing a web-based editor using the
execCommands apart from the fact that there is no method to insert a table.
I've seen somebody suggest that you create the table using pure DOM, but I
can't reference it to the relevant place in the iFrame that I'm using, ie if
I want to insert a table between 2 pieces of text that have just been typed
then how to get the table to go into there.

Hey guys,
I've written several NT services before using Delphi. When I did, I
would typically use the timer component and have a particular procedure run
every, say... 30 minutes. What would the code (in C#) look like in order to
create a loop under the Service1 procedure that would run every 30 minutes?
Right now, just for testing, I have it run initially in the service start,
but after that, it doesn't run again.

I am wondering what is the best way to create a timer, like an alarm, once it
reaches a time, it triggers an event. I have a way of doing this but it
seems like it isn't good at all. If it helps at all I am using a Tkinter,
but that probably doesn't mean much. The way I was doing it was using a
while loop, and just saying while current time is not = to trigger time, do
nothing, and when it is, do event.

I have a web appliacation, what i want to do is starting a timer when
"Application_Start" event handler is called. The timer is running
asyncronizely, let's say, every 24 hours, it will create a new thread
to run a certain process, after the process is done, the thread will
be killed.
So far, i have no idea how to do it. Can i instantiate a singleton
object in "Application_Start"? How to make a timer to be running
asyncronizely?

I need what I'd call (in .Net) a timer, ie I need to run a function eg
every 2 seconds - it doesn't need to be millisec accurate but it would
be nice if it wasn't eg every 4 seconds or something.
Rather surprisingly, Core Python (Chun) doesn't seem to index 'timer'
or 'scheduler', which leaves me wondering whether this is an aspect of
Python that isn't perhaps widely used?
