I want to build a reminder via printing a message to console at each 10 second (00:10:00), any idea ? I would like to do something to the Graphical UI (e.g.: print a message) at each 10 second, But just to test i want to print, i have been struggling with the approach any idea please ?

CodePudding user response：
First welcome lifiane, and your code needed some reformatting
Hi, after adding some imports
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
And this end part (to create the App & call the Main Class)
# Create app object and run the app
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
stopWt = StopWatchWindow()
app.exec()
if i delete this (it doesn't work)...but it the key part
if int(self.second) ==9:#(self.minute==00) and (self.ccount==00) and (self.second==10):
print('ksdfdsljkfsdlkjfklsdjvlksjlkvsdjklvjsdlkvjsdlkjvlksdjvklsdjkl')
& replacing your main class (QLabel) with ==> (QMainWindow), see below
class StopWatchWindow(QMainWindow):
After a bit of code reformatting (it's looks like this)
(i used vscode for a fast code reformatting...)
# Import necessary modules
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
# Define class to create the stop watch
class StopWatchWindow(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):

super().__init__()
# Set the title of the window
self.setWindowTitle("Stop Watch using QTimer")
# Set the geometry for the window
self.setGeometry(100, 100, 300, 200)
# Set the necessary variables
self.counter = 0
self.minute = '00'
self.second = '00'
self.count = '00'
self.startWatch = False
# Create label to display the watch
self.label = QLabel(self)
# Set geometry for the label
self.label.setGeometry(100, 40, 150, 70)
# Create start button
self.start = QPushButton("Start", self)
# Set geometry to the start button
self.start.setGeometry(50, 120, 100, 40)

# Add a method with the timer
timer.timeout.connect(self.showCounter)

timer.start(100)

self.move(900, 400)
# Display the window
self.show()
# Define a method to modify the values of minutes and seconds based on the timer value
def showCounter(self):
# Check the value of startWatch variable to start or stop the Stop Watch
if self.startWatch:
# Increment counter by 1
self.counter = 1
# Count and set the time counter value
cnt = int((self.counter/10 - int(self.counter/10))*10)
self.count = '0' str(cnt)
# Set the second value
if int(self.counter/10) < 10 :
self.second = '0' str(int(self.counter / 10)) #creer une boucle
#◘print('sdfsdf')
else:
self.second = str(int(self.counter / 10))
# Set the minute value
if self.counter / 10 == 60.0 :
self.second == '00'
self.counter = 0
min = int(self.minute) 1
if min < 10 :
self.minute = '0' str(min)
else:
self.minute = str(min)
# Merge the mintue, second and count values
text = self.minute ':' self.second ':' self.count
# Display the stop watch values in the label
self.label.setText('<h1 style="color:blue">' text '</h1>')
# Define method to handle the start button

# Set the caption of the start button based on previous caption
if self.start.text() == 'Stop':

self.startWatch = False
else:

self.startWatch = True
self.start.setText('Stop')
# Define method to handle the reset button
def Reset(self):
self.startWatch = False
# Reset all counter variables
self.counter = 0

# Set the initial values for the stop watch
self.label.setText(str(self.counter))
# Create app object and run the app
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
stopWt = StopWatchWindow()
app.exec()
To get an event (do something->print message is) at each 10 secongs:
if self.counter / 10 == (60.0*5) : #(1min = 60) --> x 5 == 5min
print('10 second second,...')
I hope this answers you question Finally
