We can design a stopwatch that resembles a typical digital stopwatch. When the user clicks mode, he or she  can select clock, date or stopwatch. When he or she select clock, the current time is displayed and when date is selected, the current date will be displayed. Lastly, when the user select the stopwatch, all the digits will be set to 0. In this program, you need to insert one label, three command buttons and two timers. Timer1 is used for the stopwatch so we set the interval to 1(1000th of a second). Timer2 is used to display the clock so we set the interval to 1000(equivalent to 1 second). We also used  six string variables to display the digits of the stopwatch so that we can put in the colons ":" and the decimal point. We have also created a subroutine known as countime. To add the menu items to the interface, you need to add them from the menu editor, as shown in the Figure below:
