    Sure you can, but if you want to make a program that's actually worth using, and looks reasonably nice, it's more work than that, and you know it. FYI: I have now completed the application, and it has taken me some 5 hours to get everything the way I wanted it, including making icons etc. I could have told you EXACTLY how long it had taken, had I had an application I could start and stop in the system tray to record time spent on a certain project. But I didn't have that! :doh: So there is 5 hours gone I could have spent on something else. And even if what you say is true (which it isn't), it would still have been 45 minutes spent unnecesarily had I been able to find such an application. Furthermore, it's 5 hours I'm not going to get paid for, despite the fact that the program is going to be used for work management.

      I wouldn't know... I don't have normal television and I don't watch soccer, except from some EM or WM with friends in the biergarten, what right now would be a bit difficult.

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        I need to record time spent on a specific project. I'm not working continuously on the project, but put in an hour here, five minutes there etc, and it's becoming quite tedious writing down all the time spent and adding it together. So I'm looking for a simple stopwatch application. Plenty of those around, with nice GUIs, floating on top windows (which I don't want in this case, but I can see why some people would think it's nice) etc, but all I've find is missing the feature I want the most: I want to be able to start and stop it by clicking its icon in the system tray so that I don't have to spend additional time locating the GUI window to start and stop it. Anybody has any suggestions? And to anticipate the obvious reply: Yes, I COULD roll my own in a matter of hours, but why would I want to spend even a couple of hours reinventing something that already exists? Apart from that, I know myself too well: If I made my own application, I would spend hours and hours improving, polishing, tweaking, etc. Time that could be well spend doing the real task instead....

            That is a very interesting concept. It wouldn't work for me, because I work on different projects using the same applications. But apart from that, I like the idea... :cool: :thumbsup:

              Yes, this is what I was afraid of - When they wanted to implement a similar software in our area, our SW guys said - "All fine, but I am only doing Visual Studio for different projects all day" :-D

                      That Bob and his hamsters are powerful and can bring hell to life if you don't behave properly... is something out of doubt. But I am not sure if transmutation is in the list of their abilities... :laugh:

                              Please do it. And put a link to the download. Should be free, of course. I could really use something like this. And I am sure many others could too. You'd earn the respect and eternal gratitude of all of us. I use KeePass and feel the same way about the developer that created it. If I ever met him I would thank him personally. I have been programming for 44 years and I'm still learning somethin new almost every day. I don't think I could do an app like this. though. :|

                              Yeah! You right!

                                  My dessert is usually Vanilla ice-cream. ;P Seriously I will be on the lookout for the example.

                                  Things are never as bad as they seem. They are usually a lot worse.
