[psychedelic]

hey.. again i wud like to ask for ur help..
im a really newbie to vb6 n a really stupid one..
so.. my teacher want me to test the time on how long does da program save the file to database..
so i have to put timer.. on save capture form,
it has to start from 00:00:00:00 (hr:min:seconds:millisnds) or just min:seconds:millis
so when i click save command button it starts counting and if the file has been saved on da database da timer stops counting, n i can see how long does it takes to save a file to database.. on a label..

i found some articles(on here).. but cant seem to edit it the way i want.. (im sorry for da stupidness)
here is one article i found
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread17352.html
most of it are countdowns and print current time, what i need is start from zero.. 00:00:00:00

can anyone help me?im not good in editing code or anything..
i mean really help me, like in dat forum.. helping me with the code..
thanks aaaaaaaaaaaa lottttttttt

keep separate timers for seconds, minutes and hours.

or try this in vb.net

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Label1.Text = Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now.Hour) + ":" + Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now.Minute) + ":" + Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now.Second)
End Sub

Label1.Text = Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now.Hour) + ":" + Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now.Minute) + ":" + Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now.Second)
End Sub

try this code pls

Dim hr%, m%, s%
Private Sub Form_Load()
hr = 0
m = 0
s = 0
End Sub

Private Sub hour_Timer()
hr = hr + 1
End Sub

Private Sub min_Timer()
m = m + 1
End Sub

Private Sub sec_Timer()
s = s + 1
Label1.ForeColor = RGB(hr, m, s)
Label1.Caption = hr & ":" & m & ":" & s

End Sub

Adjust the intervals of timers as per ur wish

[tom curren]

use the timer function
or use a timer control

either works great.
