Hey,

Does anyone have the Active X Control "Extended Timer". Its just a OCX that is longer than 60000 milliseconds like the normal timer. It uses minutes, and even weeks. A link would be great :)

Edit: Please don't say www.Google.com, I've done my fair share of looking

A google search for "Extended Timer" reveals http://www.codeguru.com/vb/controls/vb_activex/activex/article.php/c3501/

That looks to be exactly what you're looking for.

What's wrong with setting it to 1ms, or 10ms, or 100ms and just adding up until it's one day, week, month, ect?

Or create a timer with the Windows API?

IIRC, aren't high resolution timer's for extremely small intervals, much lower than miliseconds (nanoseconds)?

Skywing's High Resoultion Uptime is used to track the uptime of your computer beyond the normal time limitation.

As far as I know, you can't get better resolution than 10ms on a Windows timer (at least, not guaranteed). You might be able to write one in Assembler, but I believe it would have to be very specific to the motherboard's timer.

There is no "normal time limitation." You're talking about the GetTickCount() limitation.
