How to convert integer in time string (hh:mm:ss)

[fbd38]

I have an application that uses a chrnometer and compute seconds.
How to convert the seconds (integer) in hh:mm:ss format for display (and sharing) in a string?

More generaly speaking do we have a “C” like sprintf() function with % format ?

Salman,

I tried it but there is a problem with the TimeZone that creates an offset that we have to substract. This is a real convern if your application is supposed to run in different contries with different time zone.

I am looking for something simplest. Just convert any number (whatever the type) in hh:mm:ss string.

Try this extension:

Time Format Extension - Millis to [HH:mm:ss] - [days + HH:mm:ss] - [HH:mm] - [mm:ss] etc

Here is an extension to format the time / duration (millis) in different ways: → [ HH:mm:ss ] → [ days + HH:mm:ss ] → [ HH:mm ] → [ mm:ss ] → etc. This is asked very often and always requires a lot of questions / answers and posts in the forum. (Last here: Creating a Chronometer - #17 by PizzaGuy07) Hence this extension (some of it can also be implemented with the on-board methods, but I want to simplify it:): Version 1 (May 20, 2020): TFormat.aix (5.5 KB) Version 2 (Oct 20, 2021): TForm…
