Hello,
 
I need to launch a timer which navigates to new screen after 5 seconds.
 
I added these formulas below on my timer control:
Text:
Text(Time(0; 0; Self.Value/1000); "hh:mm:ss")
On timer start
UpdateContext({startTimer:true})
on timer end
UpdateContext({startTimer:false}) and i added the formula to navigate to specific screen
I also added the variable : startimer on the "Start field"
 
To launch the timer i used this formula on a new button:
UpdateContext({startTimer:true})
When i click on the button the timer stops at 1 second instead of 5 seconds.
 
What i need to do to launch the timer until it reaches 5 seconds

    Timer control launch Timer (5 seconds)
    Finally i found the solution:
    Please find here the variables i used on my timer control:
     
    1. A timer with the following properties:
    2. AutoStart = true
    3. AutoPause = false
    4. Duration = 5000 (5 seconds)
    5. Repeat = false
    6. Reset = gblResetTimer
    7. Start = gblStartTimer
    8. OnTimerEnd = Set(gblTimerEndValue, true)
    A button to stop it with its OnSelect set to:Set(gblResetTimer, false); Set(gblResetTimer, true);
    A button to start it with its OnSelect set to: Set(gblStartTimer, false); Set(gblStartTimer, true)
     
    And now my timer stops after 5 seconds instead of one second!

    And finally i added this code on the screenshot below to launch my timer.
     
    The issue that i have is my timer stops only after 1 second isntead of 5 seconds.
    What i forgot to do here?

    I see the variables you have but need to see the configuration for the timer.
     
    Please share images of the Timers properties
