How to create a countdown timer in autoit?


Recommended Posts

Hellow id just like to ask how to create a countdown timer in autoit

I started with this code: It was the GUI of this program

The timer has HH:MM:SS Hours/Minute/Seconds

Countdown Timer

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=D:\Program Files\koda_1.7.3.0\Forms\timer.kxf
$Form1 = GUICreate("Timer", 222, 119, 346, 191)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("00", 0, 8, 40, 41)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 24, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel(":", 48, 8, 13, 41)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 24, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("00", 72, 8, 40, 41)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 24, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Label4 = GUICtrlCreateLabel(":", 120, 8, 13, 41)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 24, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Label5 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("00", 136, 8, 40, 41)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 24, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start Countdown", 0, 64, 89, 33)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Stop Countdown", 104, 64, 97, 33)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
                Case $button1
                ;countdown timer start
                Case $button2
                ;countdown timer stop

    EndSwitch
WEnd

I dont use the Sleep() Function

...

I need codes :unsure:

An example :

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Global $SS_CENTER, $_CompteArebour = 60000, $_Minutes, $_Seconds

$_GuiCountDown = GUICreate ( "CountDown...", 500, 200, @DesktopWidth/2 -250, @DesktopHeight/2 -100, $WS_EX_TOPMOST  )
GUISetBkColor ( 0xFFFF00 )
$TimeLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "", 35, -10, 480, 180, $SS_CENTER )
GUICtrlSetFont ( -1, 125, 800 )
GUISetState ( )
WinSetOnTop ( $_GuiCountDown, "", 1 )
$TimeTicks = TimerInit ( )

While 1
    _Check ( )
    Sleep ( 200 )
WEnd

Func _Check ( )
    $_CompteArebour -= TimerDiff ( $TimeTicks )
    $TimeTicks = TimerInit ( )
    Local $_MinCalc = Int ( $_CompteArebour / ( 60 * 1000 ) ), $_SecCalc = $_CompteArebour - ( $_MinCalc * 60 * 1000 )
    $_SecCalc = Int ( $_SecCalc / 1000 )
    If $_MinCalc <= 0 And $_SecCalc <= 0 Then
        GUISetBkColor ( 0xFF0000, $_GuiCountDown )
        GUICtrlSetData ( $TimeLabel, "Bye !" )
        Sleep ( 1000 )
        ; If @Compiled Then Shutdown ( 13 )
        Exit
    Else
        If $_MinCalc <> $_Minutes Or $_SecCalc <> $_Seconds Then
            $_Minutes = $_MinCalc
            $_Seconds = $_SecCalc
            GUICtrlSetData ( $TimeLabel, StringFormat ( "%02u" & ":" & "%02u", $_Minutes, $_Seconds ) )
            If $_Minutes = 0 And $_Seconds <= 10 Then
                Beep ( 1200, 100 )
                GUISetBkColor ( 0xA093FF, $_GuiCountDown )
            EndIf
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndFunc ;==> _Check ( )

GianAutoitprogrammer,

So far you have been "GianAutoitASKER" - this forum is not a request shop for everything you want in AutoIt. We expect YOU to do some of the work yourself. :>

wakillon has very kindly given you a a good chunk of code (as have others in other threads, including myself) - it is now up to YOU to develop those snippets. We are here to help you when you run into problems, but we are NOT here to write your code for you.

I would suggest you take a little time to learn a bit about AutoIt. Reading the Help file (at least the first few sections - Using AutoIt, Tutorials and the first couple of References) will help you enormously. You should also look at the excellent tutorials that you will find here and here - you will find other tutorials in the Wiki (the link is at the top of the page). There are even video tutorials on YouTube if you prefer watching to reading.

So over to you. Start writing your own scripts and you will find us ready and willing to help - keep asking for code and you will soon find that no-one will answer.

Your choice! :unsure:

Open spoiler to see my UDFs:

Good step. Read thru all the scripts you find. So while Jos was refering to the code that wakillon posted in this thread to help you, it will surely help you to read thru the many 'countdown' related scripts you will find in the Examples section. Soon the lightbulb above your head will be burning brightly! :>:unsure:
