Timer for Minute, Hours & days..

[Sumit Kapoor]

Hi..can anybody..suggest me How to make timer for 1. Minute 2. Hours 3. days i.e. User set a time for process to execute after 10 min. then after 10 min. a event is fired & process start running.. this 10 min. can be 10 days... Plz suggest me how to go next..as I didn't find any timer that even deals with min. or hours..even days r too far. evry timer is based on milisecond..that i don't want... I hope u'll help me.. Thanks ---Sumit Kapoor--- sumit_kapoor1980@hotmail.com

1000ms = 1sec 60sec = 1min 60mins = 1hour 24hours = 1day 7days = 1week got the point? what's wrong with a timer interval of (1000 * 60 * 10) for 10 minutes (just as an example)? You can safely use SetTimer. There are not "timers for days/minutes" that I'm aware of. regards

thanks for reply.. But there must be limit to pass vaue of time in SetTimer function..I'm not sure but that must be 65,000ms this means I can do with 10 min. interval..but when I wish to do with days interval then it would be problem for program to check over & again... do u have any idea.. Thanks..bye sumit_kapoor1980@hotmail.com

You could use a couple of CTime objects to keep track of the start and current time. The start time is set when your program starts (you can do this in your dialog's OnInitDialog() handler). Set a timer to fire every second (since this is the resolution you want to honor) and in your OnTimer() handler, do the following:

CTime tmNow = CTime::GetCurrentTime();
int nElapsedSeconds = tmNow.GetTime() - tmStart.GetTime();
if (nElapsedSeconds > ...) {
// Time to do something...
}

the simple code is this CString m_szCurrentTime; CTime time=CTime::GetCurrentTime(); m_szCurrentTime.Format("%d : %d : %d",time.GetHour(),time.GetMinute(),time.GetSecond()); I Think It will Work ----------------------------- Alok Gupta visit me at http://www.thisisalok.tk

Yup, I think CTime and CTimeSpan are the way the go. Look them up on msdn. You'll figure it out. Good luck! "If I don't see you in this world, I'll see you in the next one... and don't be late." ~ Jimi Hendrix
