I want to display clock (digital clock which update in every second) in panel on windows form. I write following code.

C#

Panel agentPanel;
      Label lblTime;
      Timer timer1;
  private void CreateAgentPanels(int numberofPanel, string Current_Status, string Op_id)
     {
         for(int i =0; i <= numberofPanel;i++)
          {
            agentPanel = new Panel();

            lblTime = new Label();
            lblTime.Location = new Point(02, 35);
            lblTime.AutoSize = true;

            timer1 = new Timer();
            timer1.Tick += new EventHandler(timer1_Tick);
            this.timer1.Interval = 1000;
            timer1.Start()

             agentPanel.Controls.Add(lblTime);
         }
   }

 private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       lblTime.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString(HH:mm:ss);
   }

but lblTime label displays only in the last panel of loop. how to display in every panel which created in the loop.

Thanks in Advance

Do you mean that time updates only on the last panel?

lbltime label shows only on last panel. not shows on all panels

Solution 1

Create a List at the Form level, add the lblTime to the list in CreateAgentPanels and then in the timer1_Tick method, loop through this list and set it's text.

And you may add that OP do not need multiple timers to show the current time - he can use only one for each and every label and save a lot of resources...

I create Label list and loop through timer_Tick method. it works but there are lot of label. So i need to find out some alternately solution to that loop in timer_Tick method which assign values to all label at once.

Thanks for Help..

lst_timelable.ForEach(x => x.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss"));

Try something like this:

C#

List<Label> listOfLabels = new List<Label>();

private void CreateAgentPanels(int numberofPanel, string Current_Status, string Op_id)
        {
            Panel agentPanel;
            Label lblTime;
            for(int i =0; i <= numberofPanel;i++)
            {
                
                
                agentPanel = new Panel();
                agentPanel.BackColor = Color.Blue;
                agentPanel.AutoSize = true;
                agentPanel.Size = new Size(50, 50);
                agentPanel.Location = new Point((i * 52), 0);
                
                
                 
                lblTime = new Label();
                lblTime.Location = new Point(02, 35);
                lblTime.AutoSize = true;
                 
                

                listOfLabels.Add(lblTime);
             
                agentPanel.Controls.Add(lblTime);
                this.Controls.Add(agentPanel);
            }

            Timer timer1;
            timer1 = new Timer();
            timer1.Tick += new EventHandler(timer1_Tick);
            timer1.Interval = 1000;
            timer1.Start();
        }

        private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            foreach (Label l in listOfLabels)
            {
                l.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss");
            }
        }
