How can you have a Timer format in minutes:seconds:milliseconds?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi, I have a question where I have a Timer and its current format is: Text(Time(0; 0; Self.Value/1000); "mm:ss"), so it´s minutes and seconds. But it's not that accurate so I want it to have milliseconds too. How do I format the Timer function to also make milliseconds appear?

    Hi @Anonymous ,
    The timer runs with Milisec. As you are dividing it with 1000, it converts it to secs .

    There are some limitations. Like if your app is not active the timer will not run .
    May I know what is the exact requirement .

    Hi,

     

    By default the timer runs with milliseconds, 1000 milliseconds = 1 second.

    I know that the timer runs with millisecs, but the question is: Can I also show the millisecs in the output? Like for example 07:13:345 (7 mins 13 secs 345 millisecs).

    You can try to use:

     

    & "millisecs"

    It's not working in that way, I tried not converting it, and it does count seconds, but the app cannot process the time that fast on the screen so 1 sec looks like 2 or even 3.

    Hi @Anonymous ,
    Please use this  to Display the Format  in MM:SS:Milisec in a label text.

    With(

    {
    Miliseconds: Mod(Timer3.Value,1000)
    },
    With(
    {
    Sec: RoundDown(Timer3.Value / 1000,0)

    },
    With(
    {Min: RoundDown(Sec / 60,0)},
    Min & " : " & Sec & " : " & Miliseconds
    )
    )
    )

    Hi @Abhilash_Swain ,

    That's a good way to do it, but I wanted it to appear on the Timer itself, is it possible? If not, I'll just use the Label as a display and hide the actual Timer.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Use the above code in Timer text.(Replace Timer3.value with self.value)
