Timer Function

Returns a value that specifies the number of seconds that have elapsed since midnight.

You must first declare a variable to call the Timer function and assign it the "Long " data type, otherwise a Date value is returned.

Syntax:


  Timer

Return value:

التاريخ

Example:


  Sub ExampleTimer
      Dim lSec As Long,lMin As Long,lHour As Long
      lSec = Timer
      MsgBox lSec, 0, "Seconds since midnight"
      lMin = Int(lSec / 60)
      lSec = lSec Mod 60
      lHour = Int(lMin / 60)
      lMin = lMin Mod 60
    MsgBox Format(lHour,"00") & ":"& Format(lMin,"00") & ":" & Format(lSec,"00"),  0, "The time is"
End Sub

The Timer function measures time in seconds. To measure time in milliseconds use the Timer service available in the ScriptForge library.
