Tutorial - A Simple Stropwatch!

[Tsukuyomi15]

Would the code be the same for VB .NET?

[Xav]

Instead of "Caption", it's "Text" in VB.NET.

[chili5]

It would have to be slightly modified for VB.NET but it's almost the same code. A few of the methods would be called something different.

[Xav]

That could be expected, since VB6 and VB.NET are the same language, with the extra .NET bits.

IM confused..... on 2 parts...

[/quote]If tmrStopWatch.Enabled = True Then
tmrStopWatch.Enabled = False
lblTimeMS.Caption = "0.00"
lblTimeMins.Caption = "0"
Else
lblTimeMS.Caption = "0.00"
lblTimeMins.Caption = "0"
End [/quote]

1) i dont know what u have renamed
2) why are there 2 labels?

And

[/quote]lblTimeMS.Caption = Format(Val(lblTimeMS.Caption) + 0.01, "fixed")
If lblTimeMS.Caption = "60.00" Then
lblTimeMins.Caption = lblTimeMins + 1
lblTimeMS.Caption = "0.00"[quote]

1) what does "fixed" mean?

[Epiphany]

Great i figured it out all by myself but i think there is a problem...... its running slow.... compared to my watch.... why is that?

[Umbrageous]

Oh, The Original Code worked great for me, but I didn't like how it started timing when you ran it, so I added a

Private Sub Form_Load()
Timer1.Enabled = False
End Sub

Other Tahn that, Great tutorial!

[Xav]

You don't even need to do that - simply click the Timer in the design view, and change its Enabled property to False in the properties window.
