Total Access Components Tour: Clock
The Clock control allows you to place a clock on your forms or reports. You can select both analog and digital styles, and set the time format to either 12 or 24 hour time. Additionally, you can specify an alarm time. When this time is reached, an event is triggered, allowing you to hook events to specific times.
Using the Clock Control
Place the Clock control on your form, and set the ClockStyle to either digital or analog. You can also set the display font and colors.
Setting Alarm Times
To use the Alarm feature, set the AlarmTime property to a time. Include the seconds if desired. When the time specified is reached, the Clock control triggers the OnAlarm property. Write the code in this event’s Event Procedure to perform the desired action.
