Re: Clock help

Hi!

Do you mean something like this (the simplest/likely-dumbest
implementation possible)? You might play with the appearance, output
format, etc... The key portion of code:

    public NewJFrame() {
        initComponents();
        jLabel1.setText(Calendar.getInstance().getTime().toString());

        _iTimer = new Timer(true);
        _iTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
               
jLabel1.setText(Calendar.getInstance().getTime().toString());
            }
        }, 1000, 1000);
    }

With regards,
