Hi there,
I have this application that measures the time an operator in a factory spends to perform some activity. The operator pushes a start button, perform his activity and when he is done comes backs, enter a description of the activity performed and the press a stop button to save everything into a database. When the operator pushes the start button a record is saved into the database with the ID and the start time. When he pushes the stop button the record is updated with the end time. I need to show on the window a control with the elapsed time i.e. the time spent by the operator performing the activity. This timer should shows zero when the start button is pushed and should reset when the stop button is pushed. I know that it is an easy task to implement this, but I spent a lot of time lurking the forum and reading the documentation, without find a way to do that. Could someone give me a help on this?
Thanks,
Gio
