Tom, I can not get the timer gauge to work, using your code. I have included my code for you to look at. I am sure that it is something simple, that I am missing, but right now my old brain is in overload. When the panel loads, with the following code, the timer shows a functioning clock. When I click nothing happens and the clock continues to run. With Jan's code, when the panel loads, the timer shows " 00:00:00 " and does not change until I click the mouse. It then shows the " Time " at the time of my mouse click. This value will remain the same, unless I click again. If you or another XML guru has a solution to fix this, I would welcome your advice.ThanksgreencoTimer 1 (P:Zulu time, seconds) (>L:FixedTime, seconds) %((L:FixedTime,hours) int)%!02d!%:%((L:FixedTime, minutes) 60 % int)%!02d!%:%((L:FixedTime, seconds) 60 % int)%!02d! (M:Event) 'LeftSingle' scmp 0 == if { 1 (>L:FixedTime,bool) } (M:Event) 'LeftRelease' scmp 0 == if{ 0 (>L:FixedTime,bool) }

Greenco,The correct code is:(P:Zulu time, seconds) (>L:FixedTime, seconds)Each time you click the mouse the current time is saved to the "FixedTime" variable.Tom

Hi,Of the record and may be known for a long time, but you can SET the plane's LatLon also with Tom's formula elixer:Read:%((L:LAT,degrees) d 0 >= )%{if}%N%{else}%S%{end} %( abs d flr )%!02d!

Tom, something is still wrong. I replaced my "Mouse" code with your code and the gauge still gives me a working clock and the mouse click does not do anything. It is as if the " (P:Zulu time, seconds) (>L:FixedTime, seconds) " is set to "1" so the clock is running when the panel loads. Should something be changed, so that the clock is not running, when the panel loads?Thanksgreenco

Greenco,Sorry, I only focused on structure and didn't pay attention to the group in your code.Please remove this:(P:Zulu time, seconds) (>L:FixedTime, seconds)Which is actually updating the LVar continuosly, making it work like a clock, as noticed.Tom

Thanks Tom, I thought that was the problem. I didn't know that I could remove it, since it was used in the mouse area. It now works "GREAT" and the code is much cleaner. I will keep it for future references.Thanks a million for your help!!!greenco

hi,Did you notice the LatLon stuff?Jan"Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."

No, I missed it, but I just went back and looked at it. I will also put this one away for future use.Thanksgreenco
