Hi all,

I am trying to create a simple countdown function that would take amount of minutes from InputBox and show "live" remaining time in minutes. My script stops after the first minute of deduction. 

Could you help?

Script:

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Form4 = GUICreate("Spot Request Form", 291, 329, 491, 230)

$Finale = GUICtrlCreateButton("Summarize", 150, 264, 130, 50)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")


$Limit = GUICtrlCreateInput("(min)", 150, 40, 110, 33)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")

$SpotLimit = GUICtrlCreateLabel("SpotLimit", 150, 8, 85, 29)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")


$Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Time left", 150, 152, 78, 29)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Time = GUICtrlCreateLabel("00", 160, 184, 100, 72)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 48, 800, 0, "OCR A Std")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFF0000)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


      

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()


   $Minutes = GUICtrlRead ($Limit)


      Switch $nMsg
   Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
      Exit


   Case $Finale

   GUICtrlSetData($Time, $Minutes)
   Sleep (1000)
   $Minutes = $Minutes - 1
      If $Minuty = -1 Then
   MsgBox (0, "Done", "Countdown finished")
   Exit
      EndIf
   Sleep (59000)           ;time needed to count a minute
   GUICtrlSetData ($Time, $Minutes)

EndSwitch
WEnd

This is because your Sleep statement only sleeps for a second. Please re-read the help file for Sleep ;)

Just noticed the second Sleep statement :>

I made a workaround by declaring the desired amount of minutes in an inputbox before I run the entire GUI masive, it is not the most beautiful solution, so if you have any ideas how to create an input box and click a button to run a countdown.. I am open to any ideas :)

Try this.... but you can finished it off.  

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Form4 = GUICreate("Spot Request Form", 291, 329, 491, 230)
$Finale = GUICtrlCreateButton("Summarize", 150, 264, 130, 50)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Limit = GUICtrlCreateInput("(min)", 150, 40, 110, 33)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$SpotLimit = GUICtrlCreateLabel("SpotLimit", 150, 8, 85, 29)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Time left", 150, 152, 78, 29)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Time = GUICtrlCreateLabel("00", 160, 184, 200, 72)
GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 3)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 30, 800, 0, "OCR A Std")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFF0000)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    $Minutes = GUICtrlRead($Limit)
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Finale
            $ReadLimit = GUICtrlRead($Limit)
            If $ReadLimit = "(min)" Then
                MsgBox(-1, "No time specified", "You did not specify a time." & @CRLF & "Please insert a time in minutes.")
            Else

                GUICtrlSetData($Time, $Minutes)
                $ReadLimit = GUICtrlRead($Limit) * 60
                Local $ReadTime = GUICtrlRead($Time)
                For $i = 1 To $ReadLimit
                    GUICtrlSetData($Time, ($ReadLimit - $i) / 60 * 60)
                    Sleep(1000)
                Next

                If $ReadTime = 0 Then
                    MsgBox(0, "Done", "Countdown finished", 3)
                EndIf
                Sleep(500)
                GUICtrlSetData($Time, "00")
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Um how about we don't lock up the GUI while the timer is active?

  

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <Date.au3>;;

$Form4 = GUICreate("Spot Request Form", 291, 329, 491, 230)
$Finale = GUICtrlCreateButton("Summarize", 150, 264, 130, 50)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Limit = GUICtrlCreateInput("(min)", 150, 40, 110, 33)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$SpotLimit = GUICtrlCreateLabel("SpotLimit", 150, 8, 85, 29)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Time left", 150, 152, 78, 29)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Time = GUICtrlCreateLabel("00", 160, 184, 200, 72)
GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 3)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 30, 800, 0, "OCR A Std")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFF0000)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Local $g_sDateStart
local $g_iTimeSeconds = 0
local $g_iTimeLast

    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    $Minutes = GUICtrlRead($Limit)
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Finale
            if $g_iTimeSeconds = 0 Then
                Local $iReadLimit = GUICtrlRead($Limit)
                If $iReadLimit = "(min)" Then
                    MsgBox(-1, "No time specified", "You did not specify a time." & @CRLF & "Please insert a time in minutes.")

                    $g_iTimeSeconds = $iReadLimit * 60
                    $g_iTimeLast = $g_iTimeSeconds
                    GUICtrlSetData($Time, Int($g_iTimeSeconds / 60) & "." & Mod($g_iTimeSeconds, 60) )
                    consolewrite("Seconds: " & $g_iTimeSeconds & @CRLF)
                EndIf
            EndIf
        Case 0 ;Event None
            if $g_iTimeSeconds > 0 Then
                Local $iTime = $g_iTimeSeconds - _DateDiff('s', $g_sDateStart, _NowCalc())
                if $iTime < $g_iTimeLast Then
                    $g_iTimeLast = $iTime ;update the last count

                    If $iTime <= 0 Then ; <= in case we miss the event
                        GUICtrlSetData($Time, "00")
                        $g_iTimeSeconds = 0
                        MsgBox(0, "Done", "Countdown finished", 3)                  
                    Else
                        GUICtrlSetData($Time, Int($iTime / 60) & "." & Mod($iTime, 60) )
                    EndIf
                Endif
            Endif
    EndSwitch
WEnd

This is probably slightly more efficient... 

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>

$Form4 = GUICreate("Spot Request Form", 291, 329, 491, 230)
$Finale = GUICtrlCreateButton("Summarize", 150, 264, 130, 50)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Limit = GUICtrlCreateInput("(min)", 150, 40, 110, 33)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$SpotLimit = GUICtrlCreateLabel("SpotLimit", 150, 8, 85, 29)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Time left", 150, 152, 78, 29)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")

                    MsgBox(-1, "No time specified", "You did not specify a time." & @CRLF & "Please insert a time in minutes.")
                Else
                    $g_iTimeStart = _WinAPI_GetTickCount64() ;_WinAPI_GetTickCount() if you are not vista+ but then you have to worry about rollover
                    $g_iTimeSeconds = $iReadLimit * 60
                    $g_iTimeLast = $g_iTimeSeconds
                    GUICtrlSetData($Time, Int($g_iTimeSeconds / 60) & "." & Mod($g_iTimeSeconds, 60) )
                    consolewrite("Seconds: " & $g_iTimeSeconds & @CRLF)
                EndIf
            EndIf
        Case 0 ;Event None
            if $g_iTimeSeconds > 0 Then
                Local $iTime = $g_iTimeSeconds - Int((_WinAPI_GetTickCount64() - $g_iTimeStart) / 1000) ;_WinAPI_GetTickCount() if you are not vista+
                if $iTime < $g_iTimeLast Then
                    $g_iTimeLast = $iTime ;update the last count
