Time addition

[stefionesco]

There is some way to make

A + B = C

when A, B, and C is in time format?

I mean...

0:14 + 1:24 = 1:38

Something like that...

Excel can do this but I can't figure out who to do it in Autoit.

Look at the _dateAdd() UDF in the helpfile.

stefionesco,

There is no native function - but this little function should work:

$sTime_1 = "0:14"
$sTime_2 = "1:24"

$sSum = _TimeAdd($sTime_1, $sTime_2)

MsgBox(0, "Sum", $sSum)

Func _TimeAdd($sTime_1, $sTime_2)

    $aTime_1 = StringSplit($sTime_1, ":")
    $aTime_2 = StringSplit($sTime_2, ":")

    $iMinutes = Mod($aTime_1[2] + $aTime_2[2], 60)
    $iHours = $aTime_1[1] + $aTime_2[1] + Int(($aTime_1[2] + $aTime_2[2]) / 60)

    Return $iHours & ":" & $iMinutes

EndFunc

Please ask if you have any questions.

Yes...

Something like that.

I'll try now to put it where I need.

I want to do something like this

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
Dim $msg, $calculate, $out
Global $time1, $time2, $time_result
GUICreate("Time operation", 270, 150)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
$time1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 40, 50, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("+", 80, 40, 20, 20)
$time2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("",110, 40, 50, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("=", 180, 40, 20, 20)
$time_result = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 200, 40, 50, 20)
$calculate = GUICtrlCreateButton("Calculate", 50, 80, 100, 25, 0)
While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
   
   Case $calculate
        $out = $time1 + $time2
        GUICtrlSetData ($time_result, $out)
  EndSelect
WEnd

But it didn't work. The result is always 8.

Can somebody explain me why?

You need to use guictrlread() to get the values from the controls.

[Melba23]

stefionesco,

You need to use GUICtrlRead - at the moment you are just adding the ControlIDs of the 2 inputs.

Take a look at this:

#include <guiconstantsex.au3>
#include <date.au3>

Global $msg, $calculate, $out  ; Do not use Dim
Global $time1, $time2, $time_result

GUICreate("Time operation", 270, 150)

$time1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 40, 50, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("+", 80, 40, 20, 20)
$time2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 110, 40, 50, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("=", 180, 40, 20, 20)
$time_result = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 200, 40, 50, 20)
$calculate = GUICtrlCreateButton("Calculate", 50, 80, 100, 25, 0)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)  ; Add this after creating the controls

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg = $calculate ; You need the Case $msg = here 
            $out = GUICtrlRead($time1) + GUICtrlRead($time2)
            GUICtrlSetData($time_result, $out)
    EndSelect
WEnd

All clear?
