Extract the Date from UCCNC

[Dan911]

Hi TP!
LOL...Just did a google search for DateTime.Now and came across this post, should of known just to email you. I've been experimenting with DateTime.Now but not for the date but computer clock.

string time1 = DateTime.Now.ToString(" m ");

MessageBox.Show(""+time1);

This will give me the minuets on comp clock. What I've been attempting to achieve is to save to a var and make a if compare to execute some code every 5 or 10 minuets. My problem is when saved to a Setvar its still updating with clock. Any suggestions? I read using a system timer is the better approach to this but had no luck with that either, my lack of experience has me going to bed with a headache past 2 nights.

As always your help is very much appreciated,
Dan

Hi TP,

What I found useful with DateTime.Now is extracting time from computer clock, whether its the time or just hour,minute or second.

Below is sample code to send whatever code every 2 min in macro loop. I've read using a timer is a more efficient way but just having fun learning this stuff.

Thanks for you tips, keep them coming!

double time1 = DateTime.Now.Minute;

if (time1 == 59)

{exec.Getvar(???);
time1 = 0;
exec.Setvar(time1,???);
}

else

if (time1 > (exec.Getvar(???)+ 1)) // Sets time interval +1 = 2min / / +2 = 3min etc...
{

////Your code

exec.Setvar(time1,???);
