Timers

Question

Is there a way that I can create a timer that will count either up or down if a checkbox is checked or unchecked?

Also, how to I make a countdown timer?

Edit:

Ill try to be more specific about what I want to do... I am making a game, and I want the user to have the ability to play timed. I want to have a set time limit to complete each level where the user has to get the mouse to a specific label in a set number of seconds, or I want the user to be able to have a timer count up so they can see how long it took to complete the level. I want to be able to display each timer's time left/elapsed in a labels Label.Text property. Please help!

Hi Andrew

You just do a increase logic for the up function and do descrease logic for down function in the Timer_Tick event.

and the increasing or desceasing step is the Timer.Interval property.

have a nice day.

Answer 2

Hi, 

I guess Timer cannot be used as a counter (move Up and Down) Timer takes Environment.TickCount as base line and on interval it fires the event.

Are you looking to implement Counter? you can have a local variable with increament on up clicked and decreament on down clicked right?

If you give your requirement we will able to help you..

Please look for countdown timer : StopWatch
