I would like to show on startup,Then hide or show

Code:

#NoTrayIcon
esc = 1
GOTO START
ESCAPE & F1::GoSub SHOWTIMER

SHOWTIMER:
if esc = 1
{
Gui, Show, x5 y599 NoActivate
esc = 0
RETURN
}
if esc = 0
{
GUI, Hide
esc = 1
RETURN
}

RETURN

START:

SetBatchLines, -1
CustomColor = 000000
Gui +LastFound +AlwaysOnBottom -Caption +ToolWindow
Gui, Color, %CustomColor%
Gui, Font, s20
Gui, Add, Text, vMyText cWhite, XXXXX, YYYYY
WinSet, TransColor, %CustomColor% 250
SetFormat, Float, 02.00
h := m := s := "00"
SetTimer, Update, 1000
Gosub, Update
;Gui, Show, x5 y599 NoActivate
RETURN

Update:
if S = 59
{
S = 00
M += 1.0
GuiControl,, MyText, %H%:%M%:%S%
RETURN
}
if M = 59
{
M = 00
H += 1.0
GuiControl,, MyText, %H%:%M%:%S%
RETURN
}
S += 1.0
GuiControl,, MyText, %H%:%M%:%S%

here is one way of doing it

Code:

#NoTrayIcon

SetTimer, Update, 1000

SetBatchLines, -1
CustomColor = 000000
Gui +LastFound +AlwaysOnBottom -Caption +ToolWindow
Gui, Color, %CustomColor%
Gui, Font, s20
Gui, Add, Text, vMyText cblue, XXXXX, YYYYY
Gui, Show, x5 y599 NoActivate
WinSet, TransColor, %CustomColor% 250
SetFormat, Float, 02.00
h := m := s := "00"
RETURN

Update:
if S = 59
{
S = 00
M += 1.0
GuiControl,, MyText, %H%:%M%:%S%
RETURN
}
if M = 59
{
M = 00
H += 1.0
GuiControl,, MyText, %H%:%M%:%S%
RETURN
}
S += 1.0
GuiControl,, MyText, %H%:%M%:%S%
RETURN

ESCAPE & F1::
if hidden = true
{
gui 1:show
hidden = false
}

else
{
gui 1:hide
hidden = true
}

These two changes make it work the way you want.

Here is a revision of your Update subroutine, it uses standard AHK commands to calculate and format the elapsed time. (also added a couple of useful hotkeys. I tested this code and it works.

Code:

#NoTrayIcon
esc = 1
; GOTO START ; needs to be GoSub
GoSub, START ; like this
GoSub, SHOWTIMER ; add this to show on start up

ESCAPE & F1::GoSub SHOWTIMER
#b::tStart := A_Now ; added hotkey (win+b) to reset elapsed timer to 0
#x::ExitApp ; added hotkey (win+x) to exit script

SHOWTIMER:
if esc = 1
{
Gui, Show, x5 y599 NoActivate
esc = 0
RETURN
}
if esc = 0
{
GUI, Hide
esc = 1
RETURN
}

RETURN

START:

; SetBatchLines, -1 ; this is not useful for anything in this script
CustomColor = 000000
Gui +LastFound +AlwaysOnBottom -Caption +ToolWindow
Gui, Color, %CustomColor%
Gui, Font, s20
Gui, Add, Text, vMyText cWhite, XXXXX, YYYYY
WinSet, TransColor, %CustomColor% 250
tStart := A_Now ; save script start time for future elapsed time calculation
SetTimer, Update, 200 ; makes for smoother display update
Gosub, Update
;Gui, Show, x5 y599 NoActivate
RETURN

Update:
if !(tNow = A_Now) { ; if time has not changes, return
tTemp := tNow := A_Now
EnvSub, tTemp, tStart, seconds ; calculate # of seconds since script start
tdummy = 20000101
EnvAdd, tdummy, tTemp, seconds ; add # of seconds to dummy date/time
FormatTime, elapsed, %tdummy%, HH:mm:ss ; only show hour, minutes, seconds
GuiControl,, MyText, %elapsed%
}
RETURN
