Dear Sir,

I wrote following codes to display windows Tickcount.
This userform work fine.
When commandbutton1 is pressed then Windows usage time displays.
I want to display it continuously. I mean when Userform loads then it
should display running timer.

please help


Code:
--------------------

Private Declare Function GetTickCount Lib "kernel32" () As Long

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim tickcount As Long
tickcount = GetTickCount()
Me.TextBox1.Value = tickcount
Call tick2time
End Sub

Sub tick2time()
Dim LNTICK As Long, LNHOUR As Integer, LNMIN As Integer
LNTICK = Me.TextBox1.Value
TNHOURS = Int(LNTICK / 3600000)
If (TNHOURS > 23) Then
TNDAYS = Int(TNHOURS / 24)
TNHOURS = TNHOURS Mod 24
Else
TNDAYS = 0
End If

LNTICK = LNTICK Mod 3600000
TNMINUTES = Int(LNTICK / 60000)
TNSECOND1 = (LNTICK Mod 60000) / 1000
TNSECONDS = Int(TNSECOND1)
Me.TextBox2.Value = Format(TNHOURS, "00") + ":" + Format(TNMINUTES, "00") + ":" + Format(TNSECONDS, "00")
MsgBox ("Windows has started since " + Me.TextBox2.Value)
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim tickcount As Long
Dim stopFlag As Boolean
Do Until stopFlag = True
tickcount = GetTickCount()
Me.TextBox1.Value = tickcount
Call tick2time
DoEvents()
Loop
End Sub

Because stopFlag never gets set to True, the loop runs 'forever'. The
DoEvents() allows the system to respond to other events and keeps this loop
from totally locking up the system/using 100% of the CPU time.

By the way, I'd get rid of tha MsgBox statement in sub tick2time - you're
going to get a message box EVERY time it goes through the loop I created and
you're going to end up spending eternity clearing them - might want to just
add another text box to the form to display the information being shown in
the MsgBox now.

Remove this lin from codes

MsgBox ("Windows has started since " + Me.TextBox2.Value)
