    Put a timer onto your form. Set the interval to 1000 (1 second).




    Double click on the control to bring up the timer code. In there make it so that it will add 1 to a variable - the seconds. Then say that if seconds = 60 then make it equal 0 and add 1 to the minutes, likewise with hours.




    If you want you can make it more acurate by putting 1 in the interval and adding up from milliseconds instead of seconds.
