Question

I have a timer which ticks once every second. I would like to check when it ticks 60 times which means a minute and have it do something.

Answer 1

Assuming C#, this should do the job:

private int m_Time = 0;

private void Timer_Tick(...)
{
    m_Time++;
    if (m_Time == 60)
    {
        m_Time = 0;
        // it's been 60 seconds, do whatever
    }
    // do your "every 1 second" code here
}

Essentially you make a private field that counts the number of seconds that have ticked by, then check if it’s 60. If it is, a minute has passed and you can perform your logic. Then set the counter back to 0 and carry on.
