Is there a command to convert a number in time format ? For instance, 56 would give 00h 00m 56s And 65 would give 00h 01m 05s You got the point !

From the examples on the manual page for FormatTime

Code:

; The following function converts the specified number of seconds into the corresponding
; number of hours, minutes, and seconds (hh:mm:ss format).

MsgBox % FormatSeconds(7384) ; 7384 = 2 hours + 3 minutes + 4 seconds. It yields: 2:03:04

FormatSeconds(NumberOfSeconds) ; Convert the specified number of seconds to hh:mm:ss format.
{
time = 19990101 ; *Midnight* of an arbitrary date.
time += %NumberOfSeconds%, seconds
FormatTime, mmss, %time%, mm:ss
return NumberOfSeconds//3600 ":" mmss ; This method is used to support more than 24 hours worth of sections.
}

Thanks, looks like i missed this, even though i'm browsing the help heavily since i found out about autohotkey 2 days ago !
Allthough i don't understand how this implementation works.

FormatSeconds(NumberOfSeconds), is that a function ?
And what exactly is 19990101 suppose to mean ?

I can't see how 7384 transforms in 2 3 4 !

What if i don't have a number?
Let's say i have the following variable
Time:=(A_Index-1)*10+1*2
Using FormatSeconds(Time) doesn't work in a tooltip

Yes!

It is a valid time stamp 19990101000000 in short form ( Midnight of 1st Jan 1999 )
You could use your date-of-birth instead

I can't see how 7384 transforms in 2 3 4 !

Code:

SecondsSinceBoot := A_TickCount/1000 ; Converting ms to secs
Somedate=16010101 ; The first computer calendar date
SomeDate += %SecondsSinceBoot%, Seconds
FormatTime,mm,%SomeDate%, mm ; Extract minutes from some date
FormatTime,ss,%SomeDate%, ss ; Extract seconds from some date
Hours := Round(SecondsSinceBoot//3600) ; Derive hours

MsgBox, 0, Computer Uptime, % "Hours`t: " Hours "`nMinutes`t: " mm "`nSeconds`t: " ss

Time:=(A_Index-1)*10+1*2

You may pass variable Time to the function. Are you applying the BODMAS rule there ?

It should.
