'Most functions which track time, do so in milliseconds (1/1000 of a second). Here's
'how to convert that to a string formatted as MM:SS (minutes:seconds.tenthsofseconds).
'The PowerBASIC Format$ function is used.
'Primary code
Function MStoMin(ElapsedTime as Quad) as String
ElapsedTime$ = Format$(ElapsedTime/60000, "000")
Function = ElapsedTime$ + ":" + Format$((iTimerElapsed& Mod 60000) / 1000,"00.0")
End Function
'Compilable Example: (Jose Includes)
#Compiler PBWin 9, PBWin 10
#Compile EXE
#Dim All
%Unicode=1
#Include "Win32API.inc"
Global hDlg As Dword
Function PBMain() As Long
Dialog New Pixels, 0, "Test Code",300,300,200,200, %WS_OverlappedWindow To hDlg
Control Add Button, hDlg, 100,"Push", 50,10,100,20
Control Add TextBox, hDlg, 200,"60000", 50,40,100,20
Dialog Show Modal hDlg Call DlgProc
End Function
CallBack Function DlgProc() As Long
If CB.Msg = %WM_Command AND CB.Ctl = 100 AND CB.Ctlmsg = %BN_Clicked Then
Local i as Quad, temp$
Control Get Text hDlg, 200 To temp$
i = Val(temp$)
MsgBox MsToMin(i)
End If
End Function
Function MStoMin(ElapsedTime as Quad) as String
Local temp$
temp$ = Format$(ElapsedTime/60000, "0")
Function = "MM:SS.dd" + $crlf + $crlf + temp$ + ":" + Format$((ElapsedTime Mod 60000) / 1000,"00.0")
End Function
