PS: Sorry for my bad English! ^^

You can just to that : Else $TimeToSpend = $TimeLeft $Timer = TimerInit() $Pause = 0 EndIf

Final code that works perfect!

Happy to help

Think I got it! Testing now.

As you are using an Input in a GUI, are you aware, that you could also use a Combo instead, which you could populate with previous entries? Often with a Combo, when you begin typing, certain entries will come to the fore when you click the down icon. Based on alphabetical from left. This could possibly be a suitable solution for you? (it gives a browse for right solution option as well) P.S. Obviously MikahS has given you great help/solution already, but I offer an alternative you or others might not have thought of.

Thanks, Zalomalo. All good advice. Your English is 100% better than any other language I'd try to speak.

If it were me I'd make a countdown that is presented to the user, give them the option to postpone, act now or do nothing. Here's a simple countdown GUI. #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <SendMessage.au3> #include <Date.au3> Opt("TrayMenuMode", 1) $iDuration = 60 ;Countdown Timer in Seconds $sTitle = "Countdown Timer" $sMessage = "Something is going to happen " & @CRLF & "when this countdown completes." $sButton1 = "Do it now" $sButton2 = "Postpone" $iReturn = _CountdownGUI($iDuration, $sTitle, $sMessage, $sButton1, $sButton2) If $iReturn Then MsgBox(0,"","Button " & $iReturn & " Clicked") Else Msgbox(0,"","No action taken" & @CRLF & "Timer Expired") EndIf Func _CountdownGUI($iDuration = 60, $sTitle = "Countdown Timer", $sMessage = "", $sButton1 = "Yes", $sButton2 = "No", $dTitleBKColor = "0x3399FF", $dTitleTextColor = "0xFFFFFF") ;Create GUI Window Local $hGUI = GUICreate($sTitle, 350, 230, -1, -1, $WS_POPUPWINDOW, $WS_EX_TOPMOST) ;Title Window Portion GUICtrlSetDefBkColor($dTitleBKColor) GUICtrlCreateLabel("",0,0,350,10) GUICtrlCreateLabel($sTitle, 0, 10, 350, 30, $SS_CENTER) GUICtrlSetColor(-1, $dTitleTextColor) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 700) GUICtrlSetDefBkColor("0xF0F0F0") ;Message Area GUICtrlCreateLabel("",0,40,350,20) GUICtrlCreateLabel($sMessage, 0, 60, 350, 70, $SS_CENTER) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 700) ;Timer Area GUISetFont(12, 700) Local $idTimer = GUICtrlCreateLabel("00:00:00", 0, 130, 350, 30, $SS_CENTER) ;Buttons GUISetFont(10, 0) Local $idButton1 = GUICtrlCreateButton($sButton1, 50, 180, 100, 30) Local $idButton2 = GUICtrlCreateButton($sButton2, 202, 180, 100, 30) ;Function Return Variable Local $iReturn = 0 ;Display Countdown GUI GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ;Setup Countdown Time Variable $iCountdown = $iDuration ;Setup Countdown Update Timer and Set Countdown Local $hRefreshTimer = TimerInit() GUICtrlSetData($idTimer, _CountDownCalc($iCountdown)) $iCountdown -= 1 ;GUI Loop While Not $iReturn ;GUI Countdown Update If TimerDiff($hRefreshTimer) >= 999 Then $hRefreshTimer = TimerInit() GUICtrlSetData($idTimer, _CountDownCalc($iCountdown)) $iCountdown -= 1 If $iCountdown < 0 Then ExitLoop EndIf ;GUI Events $aMsg = GUIGetMsg(1) Switch $aMsg[0] Case $idButton1 $iReturn = 1 Case $idButton2 $iReturn = 2 EndSwitch WEnd ;Kill GUI GUIDelete($hGUI) Return $iReturn EndFunc Func _CountDownCalc($iCountdown) ;Special thanks to careca - http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/162789-timer-with-000/?p=1184285 $iHour = Int($iCountdown / 3600) $iMin = Int(($iCountdown - $iHour * 3600) / 60) $iSec = $iCountdown - $iHour * 3600 - $iMin * 60 Return StringFormat('%02d:%02d:%02d', $iHour, $iMin, $iSec) EndFunc

And thank you, Zalomalo, for these tips about Vars and single and double quotes. I have much to learn about AutoIt, but it's fun.

Think this was made clear already and would appreciate when you know when to simply shut up and not to butt in! Jos

While 1 Sleep(1000 * 1 * 60 * 30) AskForShutdown() WEnd Func AskForShutdown() $answer = MsgBox(4 + 48, "Shutdown?", "Do you wanna postphone the shutdown?", 1 * 60 * 3) If $answer = 7 Then Shutdown(BitOR($SD_SHUTDOWN, $SD_POWERDOWN)) ElseIf $answer = -1 Shutdown(BitOR($SD_SHUTDOWN, $SD_POWERDOWN)) EndIf EndFunc TD

You have to use _WinAPI_CopyImage _ClipBoard_SetDataEx to put a GDI image to the clipboard. Not tested example $hHBitmap = _ScreenCapture_CaptureWnd ("", $g_SnapShotWindow, 0 , 0, -1, -1, False ) $hClipboard_Bitmap = _WinAPI_CopyImage($hHBitmap, 0, 0, 0, BitOR($LR_COPYDELETEORG, $LR_COPYRETURNORG)) _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hHBitmap) _ClipBoard_Open(0) $hCP = _ClipBoard_SetDataEx($hClipboard_Bitmap, $CF_BITMAP) _ClipBoard_Close()

someday i'll make it to the level i'll feel ashamed for not thinking about it myself... a simple and elegant workaround! thanks Yashid!
