Countdown Timer

[lmauriceparker]

Is it possible to have the timer display the # of hours, minutes, seconds until it gets to 0?

For example, if an event starts 24hrs from now, I want users to log into the app and see a counter counting down from 24:00:00 hours. As the log into the app periodically, the time should still be counting down until 00:00:00.

If this is possible

Hi,

You would modify the Text property of the Timer to change what it displays. Timers have a Value and a Duration property. If you make the total duration subtract the current time value, you have your countdown:

Original:

Text(Time(0, 0, Timer1.Value/1000), "hh:mm:ss")

Countdown:

Text(Time(0, 0, (Timer1.Duration-Timer1.Value)/1000), "hh:mm:ss")
