I want to place Timer on one of my solution form.
Any buddy have any Idea…?? How can make it Possible.??
Thank you
Hi prem,
You can use the IClock bean that comes bundled with Servoy.
Just check the properties to change it’s appearance and function. You can use it to show the current time but (if I am not mistaken) also to use as a stopwatch.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
Robert.
That was quck reply. Thank You…
I have struggled with this bean also, but I never succeeded into making it a stopwatch. If anyone did, I like to now some tips, how to achive this.
HI
Bean is working on my form. I m also not able to create stop watch.
Good question!
The functions start and stop are of course very obvious but doesn’t make it not change back to the current time.
I bet the answer lies in the use of the functions removePropertyChangeListener(String, PropertyChangeListener) and/or propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent).
Anyone knows what these params should be ?

Do you need a visual timer? Or just something to time things? With one global you can time things: set new Date() to it when the user clicks on start and substract the currend dateime from it when he clicks on stop.
Hi Jan, this is what we have now, but we would like to have stopwatch ‘LIVE’ on the screen.

Sounds like a great javabean project. Marcel? Patrick?
I will have a look. Shouldn’t be so difficult. Maybe somebody finds a good starting point?
Hi,
Thanx jan,
We r looking for StopWatch. StopWatch would be useful tool.
Start method:
elements.bn_clock.stop()
var time = elements.bn_clock.time
time.setHour(0)
time.setMinute(0)
time.setSecond(0)
elements.bn_clock.time = time
elements.bn_clock.start()
Stop method:
elements.bn_clock.stop()
var stopTime = elements.bn_clock.time
application.output((stopTime.getHour() * 3600) + (stopTime.getMinute() * 60) + stopTime.getSecond())
David to the rescue!
That works perfectly. Thanks David.
One remark though. You better get the time right after the stop (or even before) because the timer seems to continue even after the stop function.
Seems this is a ‘stop painting the time’ function instead of really stopping the timer.
Hope this helps.

Great, David: thanks a lot…
Here’s an oddball idea: since beans run in their own thread, this could be a cheap man’s way to show a user feedback during long methods. Eh, YMMV…
//start time
elements.bn_clock.stop()
var time = elements.bn_clock.time
time.setHour(0)
time.setMinute(0)
time.setSecond(0)
elements.bn_clock.time = time
elements.bn_clock.start()
elements.bn_clock.visible = true
//your method code here
application.sleep(5001)
//stop clock
elements.bn_clock.stop()
var stopTime = elements.bn_clock.time
elements.bn_clock.visible = false
application.output(stopTime.getSecond())
Thank you David.
This is Working perfectly. This is gr8.
hi,
ALL. Now i have one more problem. This Code Working well in smart client . I want same functionality in Web Client. How can I make It Possible.
Thank You
I don’t think this is possible right now…

Web client offers different possibilities. I would look for a web service/widget that offers a stopwatch and integrate it using an html_area field. The google maps demo is a great example of this technique:

If you want to use a clock/stopwatch in your webclient then you need to do that with client-side scripting. I.e. a javascript running inside the browser, NOT in the webclient on the server.
You could indeed check the source of some widgets or you can google for it.
A quick google search for ‘javascript stopwatch’ came up with this for instance:

Hope this helps.
