Please could you help me.
I just want to display a timer constantly running and being displayed in vb
say in a textbox.
I want to use it to action at certain points via various variables and
actions.
The timer function starts off the clock at the current time and if i stop
the clock i can minus finish time from start time but that would mean
stopping it every time just to display result i want it displayed so it would
be constantly running and updating like a typical countdown or countup. All i
want is a timer starting at 00:00 and keep running throughout at bottom of
screen and everything can just carry on running and referenfing to it
occasionally.

for example a program say where the msg says "You have 5 seconds to hit the
button"
it counts done from 5 or up from 0 in a box at bottom of screen until the
person presses it or fails if time runs out
thanks
john
