Bernie,
I know "TimeCF = @"00:30:25""  works

> PRINT fn HIViewSetText( button&( 1 ), @"00:30:25" ) '--> 00:30:25

but in my program Time is a variable. It is the result of a computation

Time = hoursStr + ":" + minutesStr + ":" + secondsStr

How can I transform a string variable into a CF variable
or haw can I put a string variable in this function:

fn HIViewSetText( button&( 1 ), string variable )
