does anyone know what exactly TimerDiff() is doing with the integer returned by TimerInit() in order to get milliseconds? Just trying to find out if i can use the integer timerinit() returns in a slightly different way to the norm because it will save me a great deal of effort. ( hoping to save the integer in a db and query rows where the difference in current time integer is > x where x = whatever the integer needs to be to = y hours )

This is for my C# fans out there who enjoy OOP. I have created a really rough draft (I mean it's super basic) of the Stopwatch Class in .NET, because I had the idea whilst travelling home and just thought it's neat to show a different paradigm to that of procedural programming. Enjoy. #include <WinAPISys.au3> Global Const $STOPWATCH_GUID = '804835D8-0DF4-11E4-A11F-29560707A45E', $STOPWATCH_TICKSPERMILLISECOND = 10000, $STOPWATCH_TICKSPERSECOND = $STOPWATCH_TICKSPERMILLISECOND * 1000 Global Enum $STOPWATCH_TIMER, $STOPWATCH_RUNNING, $STOPWATCH_ELAPSED, $STOPWATCH_ISHIGHRESOLUTION, $STOPWATCH_FREQUENCY, $STOPWATCH_TICKFREQUENCY, $STOPWATCH_ID, $STOPWATCH_MAX #Region Example Example() Func Example() Local $hStopWatch = Stopwatch() ConsoleWrite('IsRunning: ' & Stopwatch_IsRunning($hStopWatch) & @CRLF) ; Display running status.

Hi everyone. I have a question and wasn't able to find any answer for this. What is the maximum value/limit for TimerInit & TimerDiff. I mean, If I use TimerInit() in my script, how long can it 'last'? How long will I be able to read it with TimerDiff()? I realize that the result of TimerDiff isn't an Integer. It's a floating number and I am not sure what the maximum value is. I would like my program to use $Time = TimerInit() today, and then I'll be able to use TimerDiff($Time) tomorrow or even the day after. Is this possible? and what happens if TimerDiff exceeds the maximum value (if there is any)?

So I have some timers which I reset periodically, but my problem is that they don't wait for the functions before them to finish and in a strange way reset beforehand. -snip- timerinit doesnt wait the mouseclick and sleep functions to finish

Morning: User comes online : Timervar=TimerInit() User goes offline : TimerDiff(Timervar) Print the time for which user was online Noon: User comes online : Timervar=TimerInit() User goes offline : TimerDiff(Timervar) Print the time for which user was online Evening: User comes online : Timervar=TimerInit() User goes offline : TimerDiff(Timervar) Print the time for which user was online -I need to figure how much time a user was online during an entire day(total time). Adding up all the above 3 TimerDiff variables and converting them using _TicksToTime seems to be giving gibberish. Any thoughts please ? ....
