Seek help creating CountDown timer for GUI

[gvonpickartz]

I am looking for a way to display a simple hh:mm:ss count down clock while the gui is active. I can achieve this in the console. GUI however waits for the count down event to complete before showing itself. Example code welcome.

Hi - What is a countdown timer? What is being counted down? How do you know how long something is going to take or are you just interested in sitting in a loop waiting for a timeout. In this case it would be a timeout timer.

There is a count-down counter. and time elapsed timer and a timeout timer.

What have you tried?

What do yuou mean by GUI. Tis forum topic is about PowerShell Forms and not about PowerShell ISE or PowerGUI.

Please refer to the Spotlight on the Timer control article:

It has a sample on how to create a timer.

You can format DateTime objects to strings using the ToString method with following formatting:
