Current Time

[natemclain]

Is there a way to make the clock or time on a layout tick by with every second? I was just curious if this could be done. I dont know why I mess with all the goofy things. Just stuff that I think would be cool on a app.

It can be done with an script in an loop as long the file is open.

There is an sample file on fmfiles.com.

Just take a look.

Hi there,

in ScriptMaker:

Loop
set field["whatever_field_name", "status(CurrentTime)"]
Pause/Resume Script["0:00:01]
End Loop


It works, but be forewarded it DOES NOT play well with other scripts if you are running multiple scripts at the same time. Also, I am building a real-time web-based sign in system and it does not keep ticking if the database is queried by a constantly refreshing webpage. Hope I helped.
