Date and Time in VB6 Form - Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6

115 100+

Hi everyone

I use the following code in VB 6 Form (Timer function) to show the date and time in textboxes.
My question is when the form is loaded, the textbox doesn't show the time immediately but takes some delay.

Why so? How can we reduce that delay?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
    'txtLoginDt = Date

    txtLoginDt = Format(Date, "ddd, mmm dd, yyyy")

    'txtLoginTm = Time

    txtLoginTm = Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss Am/PM")

Can explain us in more details. Did you used 2 different timer for the time and date? Their intervals? Does interval is set to 1000?

Hi,
Thanks for response!
Yes, I am using one timer and the interval is set to 1000.

I'm not sure by this. Try to set your interval to 1.

Hope it helps

HI...

thats must be, because the interval must expired then timer code will be executed, you can call timer sub 1 time in your form load

for example

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

Call Timer1_Timer()

GOOD LUCK

...Try to set your interval to 1.

I like AHMEDYO's response. But I wouldn't recommend setting the timer interval to 1. You will be trying to update the date and time 1000 times per second. This is likely to slow down other operations.

Thank You AHMEDYO and KILLER42 !

It worked by calling the timer function in form load.

ThanQ!

Excellent! Glad to hear you've got it sorted.

(Note, lotus18's suggestion was quite valid, too. Although I pointed out a potential problem, it can be easily prevented.)
