Simple Clock?

  • (s) Peter Laurens Simple Clock? Jul 07 2003, 06:04
    Hi,

    I'd like to create an exceptionally simple clock in cocoa.

    But I don't know how to write a timer yet that would update a text field with the current system time every second... for that matter, neither do I know how to retrieve the current system time.

    Any help appreciated,

    thankyou for your time,

    -Peter

    NSTimer *timer = [[NSTimer alloc] initWithFireDate:startTime
    interval:1.0 target:self selector:@selector(update:) userInfo:nil
    repeats:YES];

    NSCalendarDate *time = [[NSCalendarDate alloc] init];

    bye.  Andreas.

    Peter,

    You can go on my website and load the full source Cocoa code of my
    freeware MoreClocks.
    You'll find a lot of stuff around clock, time, and timer subject...
