seconds to time

[Thijs Boeree]

Hi, i 'm making a data viewer programm, i've made a scrollbar wich
indicates the total length of my opened data, now i have the duration of
my data in seconds and hooked it up to a property node of the scrollbar
named: "scale.maximum" and want the scrollbar to display this in
hour/minutes/seconds now if i go to the scrollbar's "format and
precission" menu and change it into time (date unused) it automatically
sets the time to 02:00:00 and it has to start with: 00:00:00 and then
00:00:02 etc... Does anyone know what to do?

Regards,
Thijs Boeree

Labview interprets the number passed into an indicator formatted for date & time as seconds since Jan. 1st 1904. Set the format to decimal then select "Relative Time (seconds)" instead of "Floating Point Notation" and the seconds should be converted to Hours:Minutes:Seconds. This should be what you are looking for.

Hi Thijs,

the default for a new control is 0. This is converted to seconds
since ... Here is depends on your local time what int32 = 0 means. On
my machine it is 2:00:00 1/1/1904 MESZ. Just put a meaningfull time
to the control/indicator.
