Dear All,
Apparently, some days back my terminal servers date time went out of sync and ended up in 2004...Many transaction were posted with wrong dates as users did not notice the time frame was wrong.....in 'SET MESSAGE'
I want to display the date and time on the background of my application, on the main screen, like windows 7, with a big font, I tried a couple of methods but the clock is steady..and does not show a running clock..
Any suggestions.....Thanks in advance
Hi ukoenig,
Many thanks for your response.
I am using DS Clock to display the date time. It works well, only problem I can not disable the feature/clock when the user exists the application.
I use WinExec to execute ds clock..
I tried :
local atasks := gettasks()
SendMessage( FindWindow( atasks[1] ), WM_CLOSE)
inkey(.1)
Yes, Thanks.
That can always be done.
I wanted the DS clock to look as a part of the app. and then vanish upon app. exit..
Regars
Thank you.. Yes I have experimented with all options.
As the DS Clock stays active after the application is exited, which I do not want. There must be an easy way to display date time on main window background of the application.
Thanks for your response, Regards

Thank you Antonio, ukoenig
I modified the testtime source to display the time on screen...but no luck..
ukoenig, this is what im looking for..a transparent date time ontop of the main screen....to be activated on initialization of main window..
Regards..
Riaz,
You do not want it to displayed inside a Box ?
( no Problem, to show just the transparent Text )
Best Regards

ukoenig,
No Box, simple transparent...Just like Windows 7 or DS Clock.....

Riaz,
OK, will be done !!!
