Hi all,

This is completely beyond me, so I thought I'd ask for some help. I want a GUI window to display a countdown timer. It counts down to a selected date and time. For example, I want it to count down the remaining time untill the 12th October at 19:00.

An online example is http://countdown.onlineclock.net/. Is it possible to do the same but with AHK?

Many thanks to anyone out there with some help!

You can't provide a results link like this.

I also searched for "countdown" and I think it's better to suggest
this topic as a starting point, since the code is much more simple.

Thanks guys, just a few small problems. I know how to do that pretty much. I want to count down the time from a certain date and time to a certain date and time.

Eg.
Right now it is 19:57 on the 14/07/09
The time and date selected is 20:00 on the 16/07/09
I want a countdown timer that works out the the differance in time (in this case it is 02:00:03:00 (Days:Hours:Minutes:Seconds).

Can you work out 02:00:03:00 and make it countdown untill 00:00:00:00? Hope you understand what I'm saying!

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to figure it out via FormatTime.
Example:
Code:
From = 200907141957
To = 200907162000
msgbox % To - From
