hi Guy !
i guess you are feel good. For me i would like to have your help.

Enumeration
  #Window_0
EndEnumeration
Enumeration
  #StatusBar_Window_0
EndEnumeration
Enumeration
  #ListIcon_0
EndEnumeration
Define.l Event, EventWindow, EventGadget, EventType, EventMenu
Global LastElem_
PBHeure$ = FormatDate("%hh:%ii:%ss", Date())

Procedure.s GetTimeString()
  GetLocalTime_(@s.SYSTEMTIME)
  Hour$ = Str(s\wHour)
  Minute$ = Str(s\wMinute)
  Second$ = Str(s\wSecond)
  If Len(Hour$) = 1 : Hour$ = "0"+Hour$ : EndIf
  If Len(Minute$) = 1 : Minute$ = "0"+Minute$ : EndIf
  If Len(Second$) = 1 : Second$ = "0"+Second$ : EndIf
  Time$ = Hour$+":"+Minute$+":"+Second$;+" "
  ProcedureReturn Time$
EndProcedure

    AddGadgetItem(#ListIcon_0,  4, "5" + Chr(10)+"10:53:55")
  EndIf
EndProcedure

         Debug "Time not found"
      EndIf
         ;Debug GetGadgetItemText(#ListIcon_0,ElemPosition_,1)
         ;Debug GetTimeString()
     Delay(1000)
   Next
Until  ElemPosition_ = 0 
EndProcedure

OpenWindow_Window_0()
monthread = CreateThread(@ GetTime_(),255)

;If ElemPosition_ = -1
;KillThread(monthread)
;EndIf

Repeat
  Event = WaitWindowEvent()
  Select Event
    Case #PB_Event_Gadget
      EventGadget = EventGadget()
      EventType = EventType()
      If EventGadget = #ListIcon_0
      EndIf
    Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
      EventWindow = EventWindow()
      If EventWindow = #Window_0
        CloseWindow(#Window_0)
        Break
      EndIf
  EndSelect
ForEver

Edit to change "Time mismatch" to "Time found"

what i want to do is check and display "Time found" when the define time(5 times display in ListIcon) correspond to the system time
thanks in advance. have a good day !

I'm not sure why you need to do that.

time resolution by default is something like 16 to 20 milliseconds resolution.

if you really want to get a more accurate time resolution you need to set the timeperiod at the start of you program.

and then you need to check for times between times rather than exact matches.

call this at the start of your program

Code: Select all

 
timeGetDevCaps_(@tt, SizeOf(TIMECAPS))
timeBeginPeriod_(tt\wPeriodMin)

[/code]

hi Idle !
thanks for your reply.
this is exactly what i try to do :
I want to display "found time" whenever the system time is the the same with the listIcon time
i think this part need some structure

Code: Select all

timeBeginPeriod_(tt\wPeriodMin)

Sorry for ma bad English

I would recommend that you store your elements not as text only,
but as structured elements that contain a timeformat field, too.
that would make it easy because you'll only need to compare two integer values.
for displaying in the listgadget, you can make a string out of it before sending it to the gadget.

thanks Kaeru Gaman
this is an other very basic solution from brossden of French forum

Code: Select all

Enumeration 
  #Window_0 : #StatusBar_Window_0 : #ListIcon_0 
EndEnumeration 

Define.l Event, EventWindow, EventGadget, EventType, EventMenu 

Procedure OpenWindow_Window_0() 
  If OpenWindow(#Window_0, 643, 30, 372, 288, "Window_0", #PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_SizeGadget|#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget|#PB_Window_TitleBar) 
    If CreateStatusBar(#StatusBar_Window_0, WindowID(#Window_0)) 
    EndIf 
    ListIconGadget(#ListIcon_0, 20, 25, 335, 215, "N°",100, #PB_ListIcon_AlwaysShowSelection|#PB_ListIcon_GridLines|#PB_ListIcon_FullRowSelect) 
    AddGadgetColumn(#ListIcon_0, 1, "Time", 100) 
    AddGadgetColumn(#ListIcon_0, 2, "", 300) 
    AddGadgetItem(#ListIcon_0, -1, "1" + Chr(10)+"13:20:25") 
    AddGadgetItem(#ListIcon_0,  1, "2" + Chr(10)+"14:20:35") 
    AddGadgetItem(#ListIcon_0,  2, "3" + Chr(10)+"15:20:25") 
    AddGadgetItem(#ListIcon_0,  3, "4" + Chr(10)+"16:23:25") 
    AddGadgetItem(#ListIcon_0,  4, "5" + Chr(10)+"20:23:25") 
  EndIf 
EndProcedure 

Procedure GetTime_(Parameter) 
  Repeat 
    x=CountGadgetItems(#ListIcon_0) 
    time=Date() 
    h=Hour(time) : m=Minute(time) : s=Second(time) 
    For n=0 To x-1 
      Debug GetGadgetItemText(#ListIcon_0,n,1) 
      hl = Val(Mid(GetGadgetItemText(#ListIcon_0,n,1),1,2)) 
      ml = Val(Mid(GetGadgetItemText(#ListIcon_0,n,1),4,2)) 
      sl = Val(Mid(GetGadgetItemText(#ListIcon_0,n,1),7,2)) 
      If h>hl Or ( h=hl And m>ml ) Or (h=hl And m=ml And s>sl) 
        SetGadgetItemText(#ListIcon_0,n,"L'heure a sonné",2) 
      Else 
        SetGadgetItemText(#ListIcon_0,n,"Pas encore",2) 
      EndIf 
    Next 
    Delay(1000) 
  ForEver 
EndProcedure 
OpenWindow_Window_0() 
CreateThread(@ GetTime_(),255) 
Repeat 
  Event = WaitWindowEvent() 
  If Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow 
         break
        CloseWindow(#Window_0) 
  EndIf

Hi Guy !
here i wan't to display a message "It is time" when time is found but not every second

Code: Select all

Enumeration

         If MessageRequester("AutoStart","It is time"); this message should appear one time if time is found but not every second
            ;break
         EndIf 
      Else  
        SetGadgetItemText(#ListIcon_0,n,"It isn't time",2)
