Need help with a counter

[DericLanza]

I have a reading test, I need to timer out (3 minutes) the reader.

How can I set a variable to count in minutes?

[RizlaUK]

in your projects page on show event start a timer for every 1 second

Page.StartTimer(1000);
Counter=0

in your projects page on timer event put this

if Counter == 180 then
    -- counter limit reached
    Page.StopTimer()
    Counter=0
    -- your code here


else
    Conter=Counter+1
end

you can then use "Page.StartTimer(1000)" in a button or page load or wherever to start the 3 min timer, it will stop automaticly when the limit is reached, remember to reset the "Counter = 0" if the user dose not time out

hope that helps
