Countdown timer help

[zvd 0]

Can't seem to make this countdown timer work properly. In the present state it only counts down 1 or two second with every push of the button. I'd like it to run fully with one push...

I've tried a do loop, but then the Label1 gets all messed up!

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=

$Form1 = GUICreate("TeaTime", 163, 147, 193, 115)

$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("5 Minute Tea Timer", 24, 16, 114, 17)

GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")

$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("5:00", 56, 48, 49, 33)

GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 18, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 24, 96, 49, 17, 0)

$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 88, 96, 49, 17, 0)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

$time=TimerInit()

While 1

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

Switch $nMsg

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

Case $Button2

Exit

Case $Button1

$new = TimerDiff ($time)

$new = (5*60*1000)-$new

$seconds = Round ($new/1000)

$newMin = Floor ($seconds/60)

$newSec = Mod ($seconds, 60)

If $newSec < 10 Then $newSec = "0"&$newSec

GUICtrlSetData ($Label1, $newMin&":"&$newSec)

EndSwitch

WEnd

Hope that helps. The code could be optimized but you get the idea.

Also, use [ autoit] and [ /autoit] tags around your code (without the spaces).
