I'm having an issue with my countdown timer. It will no longer countdown and it seems like it is blinking rapidly. I'm pretty sure it is due to the way I did $_HourCalc, since I couldn't find an example with that in it. I should also add that this is someone else's (niksigouin) script that I modified for my own use. I was wondering if anyone could help me out on the HourCalc or why it won't count down any longer.

First, you are Declaring/ Calculating your "times" twice:

 

Local $_HourCalc = Int($_CompteArebour / (3600000)), $_MinCalc = $_CompteArebour / 60000 - ($_HourCalc * 60), $_SecCalc = $_CompteArebour - ($_MinCalc * 60 * 1000)
    $_SecCalc = Int($_SecCalc / 1000000)

    $_CompteArebour -= TimerDiff($TimeTicks)
    $TimeTicks = TimerInit()
    Local $_HourCalc = Int($_CompteArebour / (3600000)), $_MinCalc = $_CompteArebour / 60000 - ($_HourCalc * 60), $_SecCalc = $_CompteArebour - ($_MinCalc * 60 * 1000)
    $_SecCalc = Int($_SecCalc / 1000000)

Second, There is for this:

 

Func _Run()
    While 1
        _Check()
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>_Run

Which, you build your GUI, then start a "normal" GUI loop.. but when someone clicks any button, it goes into the _Run() loop.  Which then calls itself when you click another button... and so on and so forth which is why your GUI isn't responding. It's chasing it's own tail.

 

Just make your calculations in your main program loop:

 

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $BtnStart                              ;<=== When pressed "Start", hide and then show "Pause"
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnStart, $GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnPause, $GUI_SHOW)
            _Run()
        Case $BtnAdd60                              ;=== Add 1 minute to the Timer
            $_CompteArebour = $_CompteArebour + (60000 * 60)
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnStart, $GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnPause, $GUI_SHOW)
            _Run()
        Case $BtnAdd30                              ;=== Add 30 seconds to the Timer
            $_CompteArebour = $_CompteArebour + (100000 * 60)
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnStart, $GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnPause, $GUI_SHOW)
            _Run()
        Case $BtnAdd10                              ;=== Add 10 seconds to the Timer
            $_CompteArebour = $_CompteArebour + (120000 * 60)
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnStart, $GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnPause, $GUI_SHOW)
            _Run()
        Case $BtnAdd5                               ;=== Add 5 seconds to the Timer
            $_CompteArebour = $_CompteArebour + (180000 * 60)
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnStart, $GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnPause, $GUI_SHOW)
            _Run()
        Case $BtnReset                              ;=== Reset the Timer to 00:00
            $_CompteArebour = 0
            GUICtrlSetData($TimerLabel, StringFormat("%02u" & ":" & "%02u" & ":" & "%02u", 0, 0, 0))
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch

    ; Make calculations here, or just call _Check() without all the fancy nonsense of another loop in _check() getting the GUIMsg.
WEnd

Third..

Case $BtnAdd60                              ;=== Add 1 minute to the Timer
            $_CompteArebour = $_CompteArebour + (60000 * 60)
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnStart, $GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnPause, $GUI_SHOW)
            _Run()
        Case $BtnAdd30                              ;=== Add 30 seconds to the Timer
            $_CompteArebour = $_CompteArebour + (100000 * 60)
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnStart, $GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnPause, $GUI_SHOW)
            _Run()
        Case $BtnAdd10                              ;=== Add 10 seconds to the Timer
            $_CompteArebour = $_CompteArebour + (120000 * 60)
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnStart, $GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState($BtnPause, $GUI_SHOW)
            _Run()
        Case $BtnAdd5                               ;=== Add 5 seconds to the Timer
            $_CompteArebour = $_CompteArebour + (180000 * 60)

Where are you pulling these numbers from, because they seem to be out of thin air.

 

A typical Sleep for x seconds looks like:

Local $iSleepSeconds = 60
, $iSleepCounter = 0

While 1
    Sleep(1000) ;1000 is 1 second.

   $iSleepCounter += 1
   If $iSleepCounter >= $iSleepSeconds Then ExitLoop
WEnd

msgbox(0,'',"All done!.. I slept for " & $iSleepSeconds & " seconds boss.")

Then you could build in additions to sleep time with your cases:

 

Case $BtnAdd60                              ;=== Add 1 minute to the Timer
            $iSleepSeconds += 60
        Case $BtnAdd30                              ;=== Add 30 seconds to the Timer
            $iSleepSeconds += 30
        Case $BtnAdd10                              ;=== Add 10 seconds to the Timer
            $iSleepSeconds += 10
        Case $BtnAdd5                               ;=== Add 5 seconds to the Timer
            $iSleepSeconds += 5

Looks a lot prettier :)

Awesome thank you so much. The numbers don't match the labels I really have to get better at labeling things properly. The numbers are milliseconds*60 to equal minuets in 1 hour, 100min, 2 hours, and 3 hours. I'm not sure if it actually has to be done that way it's just how I did it in AHK. I'm going to give these a try again thank you.
