[Solved] Retrieve fractions of a second from time function

[gurfle]

I would like to be able to manipulate fractions of a second, but cannot figure out how to get OOo Basic to handle time vaiables with any more precision than a whole second. Is there a way without having to resort to functions outside of the OOo Basic libraries?

Thanks for any insights . . .

Hi,
Basic function GetSystemTicks returns the value of a counter of milliseconds. However on an IBM-PC compatible the precision is about 16 milliseconds (because of internal HW clock).

Code: Select all

Dim t as long
t = GetSystemTicks
' your process here ---
t = GetSystemTicks - t
MsgBox("Duration : " & t)

Thanks. That's just what I need. Precsions down to 16 ms not necessary for now, but thanks for the caveat!
