[QUOTE="xstep, post: 1036678, member: 11647"] I did a similar little project a few years for the same reason, for practice. :) Mine takes manual input of the time interval of interest, so I didn't play with the slider technique. From how I understand your description in question 1, I think you are on the right track. Give it a try. For number 2, things get a little complicated to explain. I think this is what you want to know... After you have done takeIntValueFrom in your action you have to apply your math. From the looks of my code, I converted the input of days, hours, minutes and seconds down to seconds. So do what it takes to convert a number such as 59.75 (239 * .25) minutes into seconds and use the value to calculate your endTime. Also use this value to set the textbox using setFloatValue:, I think. If you want the textbox to have pretty formatting, you'll need to split the minutes and seconds out as separate numbers I think and setup an appropriate looking string. Although there maybe some formatting options I'm not aware of. Someone at the Lake Forest CA Cocoaheads meeting last night was asking about this kind of app too. [/QUOTE]
