Just place some code in the action event of the pushbutton. It knows
when it is clicked and will run the code.
If you need the timer to know when the button was pushed you can use
a boolean flag. Check the value in your timer and adjust the value
when the button is clicked.

Thanks for the information.
There is one other question I should have asked ... because i knew
it was coming.
While I am in the loop i want to see if someone has clicked a
'quit' pushbutton. I have tried setting
the focus on the button removing the focus from the window and the
only thing that happens is the
timer stops. (that is probably because the timer starts running
when the window is opened.) How do i
get a program to keep an eye on the push button while running the
timer <sheepish grin>

I want to make a countdown timer, but for some reason, I can't get
anything to display in my static
text box. here is my code.
dim x as integer
dim xs as string
x=100
while x>0
x=x-2
xs=cstr(x)
statictext1.text=xs
wend
Any ideas? When I do a step through, I can see the value
decrementing.
Try placing a "statictext1.refresh" statement following your
"statictext1.text=xs" statement thereby forcing the
field to be refreshed on the screen instead of waiting until the
while loop has completed.
