Accurate running time in Windows form

January 9, 2023

I have DateTimePicker on my form and I want it to only display TIME
I use the code below to do that and it worked

dtpTimeIn.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Time;
dtpTimeIn.Value = DateTime.Now;
dtpTimeIn.ShowUpDown = true;

Now my problem is, I want it to be a running time wherein the seconds is continuously running
I used DateTime.Now but it’s not working

Please help me to find another solution

>Solution :

This works for me. Here’s my VB example. The seconds/time updates every timer1.tick.

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        dtpTimeIn.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Time
        dtpTimeIn.Value = DateTime.Now
        dtpTimeIn.ShowUpDown = True

    End Sub

    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

        dtpTimeIn.Value = DateTime.Now

    End Sub
End Class
