Pause button

Enzi

I have a timer using CP5 Library and I was wondering if there's a pause option to stop the time on screen. I'm using the following code.

    // user interface Desktop

    import controlP5.*;
    ControlP5 cp5;

    ControlTimer c;
    Textlabel t;

    boolean Startbutton = false;


    void setup(){
      size(500,500);
      noStroke();
      cp5 = new ControlP5(this);
      //Timer
        frameRate(30);
      cp5 = new ControlP5(this);
      c = new ControlTimer();
      t = new Textlabel(cp5,"--",100,100);
      c.setSpeedOfTime(60);
        // create a new button with name 'buttonA'
      cp5.addButton("Stop")
         .setValue(0)
         .setPosition(100,100)
         .setSize(40,20)
         ;

    }

    void draw(){
        background(0);

        if (Startbutton){
            cp5.addButton("Stop")
         .setValue(0)
         .setPosition(100,100)
         .setSize(40,20)
         ;
               t.setValue(c.toString());
      t.draw(this);
      t.setPosition(100, 120);
          }

        else{
      cp5.addButton("Start")
         .setValue(0)
         .setPosition(100,100)
         .setSize(40,20)
         ;
    c.reset();
        }
    }

    void mousePressed() {
      if (mouseX > 100 && mouseX < 140 && mouseY > 100 && mouseY < 120) {
        Startbutton = !Startbutton;
      } 
    }

There is no pause button in the ControlTimer class, according to the ControlP5 reference: http://www.sojamo.com/libraries/controlP5/reference/controlP5/ControlTimer.html

You'd have to improvise using 2 timers. 1 will constantly keep going (until you stop it, entirely), whereas the other one is started when you press the "Pause" button. You'd also have to keep track of the previous pause durations, and add them to a variable, to allow for multiple pausing.

Otherwise, I don't think there's another way.

I'll try to provide an example when I get back.
