Display acrued time while waiting for next process

Post by Esabik » Mon Oct 31, 2016 5:35 pm

Hi

I would like to have a timer that is displaying the accrued time in between processes and they take 2 to 3 hours usually once its started. I couldn't find a suitable post with an example in the forum or perhaps missed one.....Any suggestions? :?:

for example:

execute>run
//once "run" starts it will take a couple hours for next process
//display onscreen dialog basically, countup timer while program is running
Waitwindowopen>run process*
Just when you thought it was safe to go in the water........:evil:

Search the forum for "stopwatch". There are a couple of programs posted. You will likely need to alter the program to stop when "Run" stops So you know the total time.
