The time has come...

[Bruce]

I have a raido button that is up on page show and this code:

myCounter = 60;
Page.StartTimer(1000);

On Timer:

myCounter = myCounter - 1;
if (myCounter ==0) then
Page.StopTimer();

if butt_result then
else
myCounter=61;
Paragraph.SetVisible("SEC Paragraph", false);
Paragraph.SetVisible("Time Left Paragraph", false);
end


Page.Jump("contact");
end

when clicked the timer will not stop, its jacked up here somewhere.

Bruce,
... just an idea...

Place a Dialog.Message("anything", "anything") between the (If ... then ... else) to see if the butt_result (true) is ever recognized.

I'm closer! Just cant get it to start back up when clicked again:


myCounter = myCounter - 1;
if (myCounter ==0) then
Page.StopTimer();
--Put any code you want here, like Page.Jump or anything else
Page.Jump("contact");
end



Paragraph.SetText("SEC Paragraph", myCounter);
butt_result = Button.GetState("time_Button");

if butt_result == 1 then
Paragraph.SetVisible("SEC Paragraph", true);
Paragraph.SetVisible("Time Left Paragraph", true);
myCounter = myCounter - 1;
Paragraph.SetText("SEC Paragraph", myCounter);
--result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "DOWN.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);

elseif
butt_result == 0 then
Paragraph.SetVisible("SEC Paragraph", false);
Paragraph.SetVisible("Time Left Paragraph", false);
Page.StopTimer();
--result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "UP.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end

stab in the dark here, but where are you trying to start the timer from, the button or the timer, cos you cant start the timer from within the timer

also, are you resetting "myCounter", if it is still at 0 then the timer will start and stop stright away

How would you reset it?

[RizlaUK]

well, it all depends,

how many times do you want to call the counter, is it a one off thing

you could:

put in page show,
CounterOn = true-will enable the counter
myCounter = 60;
Page.StartTimer(1000);

if CounterOn then
myCounter = myCounter - 1;
if (myCounter ==0) then
CounterOn = false--disable the counter
myCounter = 60--reset the counter
Page.StopTimer();
--Put any code you want here, like Page.Jump or anything else
Page.Jump("contact");
end
end
then if you want to use the counter again, just add this to whatever calls the counter

CounterOn = true
Page.StartTimer(1000);

EDIT:, if you are trying to start the timer from within the timer event after is has been stoped then nothing will happen

what is it you are trying to do, i'll help ya come up with something

Thank you, well... I have a timer event that counts down that allows the end user one minute to do what they need to do on their password protector. I also have a raido button that allows them to stop the program from using the timer if they want. When pressed, it should stop the timer. When pressed again should start the count down once again starting from 60.

[RizlaUK]

ok, i got ya,

put this in your timer

TimerState = Button.GetState("btnTimer");
if TimerState == BTN_UP then
    myCounter = myCounter - 1;
    if (myCounter ==0) then
    myCounter = 60--reset the counter
    --Put any code you want here, like Page.Jump or anything else
    Page.Jump("contact");
    end
else
myCounter = 60--reset the counter
end 

there is no need to stop the timer, if the button is checked the timer will stop counting and reset to 60, and when unchecked it will count down from 60 again

EDIT:

no need to reset the timer as it gets set when you enter the page, try this

TimerState = Button.GetState("btnTimer");
if TimerState == BTN_UP then
    myCounter = myCounter - 1;
    if (myCounter ==0) then
    --Put any code you want here, like Page.Jump or anything else
    Page.Jump("contact");
    end
else
myCounter = 60--reset the counter
end
