Create A Standard C# Windows Forms Application

1.
Create a standard C# Windows Forms application:
Resized to 63% (was 804 x 540) - Click image to enlarge
2. For the newly created form, set the FormBorderStyle property to FixedToolWindow:
Also, set the form Text property to "Countdown Timer" or whatever you want, so you can easily identify the
form.
3. Add the following controls to the form:
 GroupBox (set its Text property to "Activity");

 Label (set its Text property to "Set time:");
 3 TextBox controls (textBox1 (for hours), textBox2 (for minutes), textBox3 (for seconds));
 3 Label controls (set their Text property to "hrs", "min" and "sec" respectively);
 Label (set it's Text property to "Message:");
 TextBox (textBox4 - - this will contain the message shown at the end of the countdown process);
 3 Button controls (button2 - ">" (start the timer), button1 - "| |" (pause the timer), button3 - "[ ]"
(stop the timer));
 5 Label controls (lblHr - display the hours, lblMin - display the minutes, lblSec - display the seconds;
between these three Label controls add two Label controls with the text ":" on them; also change
the font size for these labels to 19 or bigger);
 Timer (set the Interval property to 1000);
The form should look like this:
Now, let's pass to the code.
1. Declare the main variables:
view source
print?
1 public int seconds; // Seconds.
2 public int minutes; // Minutes.
3 public int hours; // Hours.
4 public bool paused; // State of the timer [PAUSED/WORKING].
2. The code for the starting button:
view source
print?
01 private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
02 {
03 if (paused != true)
04 {
if ((textBox1.Text != "") && (textBox2.Text != "") &&

05
(textBox3.Text != ""))
06 {
07 timer1.Enabled = true;
08 button1.Enabled = true;
09 button2.Enabled = false;
11 textBox1.Enabled = false;
15 try
16 {
17 minutes = System.Convert.ToInt32(textBox2.Text);
18 seconds = System.Convert.ToInt32(textBox3.Text);
19 hours = System.Convert.ToInt32(textBox1.Text);
20 }
21 catch (Exception ex)
22 {
23 MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
24 }
25 }
26 else
27 {
28 MessageBox.Show("Incomplete settings!");
29 }
30 }
31 else
32 {
34 paused = false;
37 }
38 }
3. The code for the pausing button:
view source
print?
2 {
3 // Pause the timer.
4 timer1.Enabled = false;
5 paused = true;
8 }
4. The code for the stopping button:
view source
print?
02 {
03 // Stop the timer.
04 paused = false;
09 textBox4.Clear();
13 textBox1.Enabled = true;
18 lblHr.Text = "00";
19 lblMin.Text = "00";
20 lblSec.Text = "00";
21 }
5. The code for the timer:
view source
print?
01 private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
02 {
03 // Verify if the time didn't pass.
04 if ((minutes == 0) && (hours == 0) && (seconds == 0))
05 {
06 // If the time is over, clear all settings and fields.

// Also, show the message, notifying that the time is
07
over.
09 MessageBox.Show(textBox4.Text);
