Ticking time on an interface

Hi all,

Is there a way to display the time (ticking and updating every minute ) such as - 04:59 PM, 05:00 PM, 05:01 PM every minute?

Thanks

    As long as you don't need it to display ticking seconds, you can do this using a!refreshVariable using a refresh interval of 0.5 or 1.  Unfortunately this will only be a rough readout, as it might be a bit behind the actual minute counter depending on when the form was first loaded - and to slightly add to the confusion, the 0.5 refresh interval seems to refresh only *approximately* every 30 seconds, but sometimes a few seconds faster.  Still though, if what you want is an "approximate" minute counter, it should be doable.
