time

Jeeves1983

I am displaying the time in my app using :

Private Sub form_load()

Text12.Text = Format(Time, "hh:mm ")

Text11.Text = Format(Date, "dd/mm/yy")

End Sub

The only problem is that the time doesn't update itself along with the system time. How do i make this happen

Please help

You need to add a Timer object to your form, and in its Tick event, you need to assign the System time to the textBox or label for display. Hope that hint helps.

and how do i go about that

Dear Jeeves,

You could also try the System.Threading.Thread class as an alternative. The advantages over Timer are that it is light weight.

There is a clean implementation of the same given by Rong-Chun Zhang over here

Also check the msdn article suggested by Rong

Thankyou so much. Great help.

I am trying to save data, which i have managed, into a random file, but i am trying to keep what im saving to appear in a list box under headings. Say i wish to save statistics about certain cars, i want to input all the data into text boxes, then when i save them, the data is saved under the car name such as 'porsche 911' in a list box. I can then click on it at any point to recall the information. how do i go about this
