ToolTip(Sleep(30000)) How to Display a Counting SleepTime ToolTip..?

ToolTip(Sleep(30000))

How can I make a ToolTip function work with a Sleep function so it counts up from 0->30 showing the counting in a tooltip..??

If you want to display actual seconds, then something like this might do you:

Dim $x
$Timer = TimerInit()
While $x < 30
    $x = Int(TimerDiff($Timer)/1000)
    Tooltip($x,100,100)
Wend

thanks, it works, but it seems a lil too CPU intensive..??

is there any other ways that doesnt make the CPU go up 40% when running that code.??

Sorry, try adding a sleep()...

$x =0
$Timer = TimerInit()
While $x < 30
    Sleep(1)
    $x = Int(TimerDiff($Timer)/1000)
    Tooltip($x,100,100)
Wend

Better?

Just a FYI, the minimum sleep with AutoIt's Standard Sleep() function is 10ms, so Using Sleep(1) through Sleep(9) is the same as Sleep(10). (Just in case you weren't aware)

how could i turn all that code into a Function so i could call it like _SleepTimerToolTip(#) and instead of putting the # of seconds in the While $x < 30 put it inside the _SleepTimerToolTip(#)

I would prefer it in a countdown manner. Then you know, how long it takes to the end.

Here a sample:

_SleepTimerToolTip(5)

Func _SleepTimerToolTip($iSeconds)
    While $iSeconds
        ToolTip($iSeconds)
        $iSeconds -= 1
        Sleep(1000)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc   ;==>_SleepTimerToolTip
