Simple and generalpurpose stopwatch function

the GUI interface is not a "finished product" but a simple example to show how to use the function.

; --- simple example of use ---
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
$Form1_1 = GUICreate("Stopwatch", 170, 70);, 100, 100)
$LapsedTime = GUICtrlCreateLabel("   00:00:00.0", 10, 10, 200, 25)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "Lapsed time")
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 18)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("halt/go", 10, 40, 50, 20) ; go / pause
GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "Pause/Unpause counting")
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("clear", 60, 40, 50, 20) ; reset
GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "Clears counter and stops")
$Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("restart", 110, 40, 50, 20) ; restart
GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "Clears counter and restarts")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Stopwatch(2) ; reset to 0 and stops
While 1
    $x = Int(Stopwatch() / 100)
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button1 ; toggle status (go <-> pause)
            Stopwatch() ; this reads counter and sets @extended according to actual $paused status
            Stopwatch(@extended) ;    if is paused (@extended = 1) then unpause [Stopwatch(1)]
            ;                         if is unpaused (@extended = 0) then pause [Stopwatch(0)]
        Case $Button2 ;    reset to 0 and stop counter
            Stopwatch(2)
        Case $Button3 ; reset to 0 and restart counter
            Stopwatch(3)
    EndSwitch

    If $x <> Int(Stopwatch() / 100) Then
        $totsec = Int(Stopwatch() / 1000) ; ms to sec
        $hr = Int($totsec / 3600) ; hours
        $mn = Int(($totsec - ($hr * 3600)) / 60) ; minutes
        $sc = Int(($totsec - ($hr * 3600) - ($mn * 60))) ; seconds
        $tn = Int((Int(Stopwatch() / 100) - ($hr * 36000) - ($mn * 600) - ($sc * 10))) ; tenths of a second
        GUICtrlSetData($LapsedTime, "   " & StringFormat("%02s", $hr) & ":" & StringFormat("%02s", $mn) & ":" & StringFormat("%02s", $sc) & "." & StringFormat("%01s", $tn))
    EndIf

P.S.
If you need a finished stopwatch with a nice gui and more functions, take a look to this one by AZJIO

Thank you :)

P.S.
I wrote that while was experimenting on this phrase found in the "hystory" of AutoIt:

"Functions can now be referenced in variables and the function can be called through the variable."
(wrongly) I thought to be able to instantiate functions and so I tryed this WRONG example of use....
 

; WRONG example of use
; -----

$counter1 = Stopwatch ; instantiate first stopwatch (it doesn't)
$counter2 = Stopwatch ; instantiate second stopwatch (it doesn't)

$counter1(3) ; start counting of the first stopwatch (aint so, first and second are both the same stopwatch)
Sleep(1000) ; wait a second
$counter2(3) ; start counting of the second stopwatch (aint so, first and second are both the same stopwatch)
Sleep(1000) ; wait another second

; my hope was to have 2 results (second timer 1 second late on the first)
; but both refer to the same stopwatch
ConsoleWrite("1) " & $counter1() & @TAB & "2) " & $counter2() & @CRLF)

anyway the resulting function is not bad and (I hope) can have some use..
