Has anyone made a script to set a countdown timer to a specific date and time?

The basic command to set a timer start value is: clockTimer.StartAt = "00:01:00.0"

You would also need to declare your timer variable: dim clockTimer as xpClockTimerWidget

I have set specific times to count down from (ie: 3 mins, 2:30, etc), but with a little creative scripting you can probably set a variable to use the system time and date to set the StartAt time.

Thanks Brian. This is what I have so far but not sure why its not working.

dim setTimer as xpClockTimerWidget

dim timenow as xpClockTimerWidget

Dim intHour As Integer

Dim intMin As Integer

Dim intSec As Integer

Dim TSecs As Long

engine.GetWidgetByName("bloomsday_start1", setTimer)

engine.GetWidgetByName("nowTime", timenow)

TSecs = DateDiff("s", timenow, "09:00:00.00")

intSec = TSecs Mod 60

intMin = (TSecs / 60) Mod 60

intHour = ((TSecs / 60) / 60) Mod 24

setTimer.StartAt = intHour - 1 & ":" & intMin & ":" & intSec

setTimer.Reset

setTimer.Start

Richie,

Try this:



dim setTimer as xpClockTimerWidget

Dim TSecs As Long

Dim current as Date

engine.GetWidgetByName("ClockTimer1", setTimer)

current = Now

TSecs = DateDiff("s", Hour(current) & ":" & Minute(current) & ":" & Second(current) & ".00", "11:00:00.00")

setTimer.TimerValue = TSecs * 1000

setTimer.Start
