Countdown

[Reinhardt1julian]

I have a window

$hours = GUICtrlRead($Input1ausin)
                $mins = GUICtrlRead($Input2ausin)
                $secs = 00
                If $mins <= 60 AND $mins >= 0 Then
                    GUIDelete($Form3)
                    Global $Form4 = GUICreate("Countdown", 263, 153)
                    $Labelcount = GUICtrlCreateLabel($hours, 81, 39, 28, 36, $SS_CENTER)
                    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 20, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
                    $Label1count = GUICtrlCreateLabel($mins, 120, 40, 28, 36, $SS_CENTER)
                    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 20, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
                    $Label2count = GUICtrlCreateLabel($secs, 160, 40, 28, 36, $SS_CENTER)
                    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 20, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
                    $Label3count = GUICtrlCreateLabel(":", 112, 37, 7, 36)
                    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 20, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
                    $Label4count = GUICtrlCreateLabel(":", 152, 37, 7, 36)
                    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 20, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
                    Global $Buttoncount = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 83, 104, 97, 25)
                    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
                Else
                   MsgBox(0, "Error", "Invalid time")
                EndIf
                ExitLoop

And i want to start the countdown as soon as the window is created, and count down every second. When the countdown is finished, it should do something, and when $Buttoncount is pressed, it should simply exit the code.

Reinhardt1julian,

I suggest you search for "countdown" - the search box is at top-right - as there are multiple threads about this simple process on the forum.

Take a look here:

$ms = 300000
$timer = TimerInit()
$labeltext = "Count down test"
GUICreate("Count down test", 350, 330, -1, -1)
$Exit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit now", 100, 250, 150, 50)
$Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel($labeltext, 10, 10, 330, 200)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 140, 225, 75, 20)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While (TimerDiff($timer) < $ms) And (GUIGetMsg() <> $Exit)
    ;
    $seconds = TimerDiff($timer) / 1000
    $diff = $seconds - ($ms / 1000)
    ;
    $minutes = Int($diff / 60)
    $secondsRem = $diff - ($minutes * 60)
    ;
    $minutes = $minutes * - 1
    $secondsRem = $secondsRem * - 1
    $time = StringFormat("%02d", $minutes) & ":" & StringFormat("%02d", $secondsRem)
    ;
    GUICtrlSetData($Input, $time)
    ;
WEnd

Exit
