Round clock control
Description
The round clock control is a traditional round wall shaped clock with hour,
second and minute hands. This is different to the
Control - Clock (text based) or date
which displays a digital type clock.
Simple round clocks
On the designer screen menu, click on 'Insert' then 'Clock (round)'. This
simply adds a round clock directly onto the designer screen. You
can then position and size your Round clock control as required. Double
click the Round clock control to view the properties. The 'Clock' tab
allows
you to choose colours or a background image for
the clock face, as well as allowing you to customise hands, numbers and time
zones. Please the 'F1' key on your keyboard on this and other property's
tabs to get more information.
London, Paris and New York clocks
You can incorporate the classic 3 clock design that displays 3 round clocks with
each showing the time in London, Paris and New York. You can do this by
inserting 3 round clocks onto the designer with each having different time
zones:
City |
Time zone |
|
|
London |
(UTC) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London |
Paris |
(UTC+01:00) Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris |
New York |
(UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) |
You could then add a
Text label control under each of
the clocks with the name of the city on. Alternatively, if you had images
of the British, French and American flags, then you could use these as the
background images for the clock faces.
