for all you brains this should be real easy please help

1. Write a Program that receives an integer value from the user that
represents a number of seconds.If the user clicks on the convert button,the
input is converted to the format hours:minutes:seconds .If the user enters
40 seconds into the editbox for eg, the result 00:00:40 must be displayed.If
the user enters 40 000seconds the result should be 11:06:40. Note that if
the resulting number of hours, minutes or seconds is less than 10,it should
be preceded by a 0.

I think you should do your own homework assignment.

If you at least attempt to write the program yourself, but post questions
whenever you need help, we'll be glad to work with you.

Try something like this.

procedure onconvertclick(sender:Tobject)
var minutes,hours,seconds.Integer;
    minutesStr,hoursStr,secondsStr:string;
begin
  seconds:=strtoint(editbox1.text);
  hours:=seconds div 3600;
  minutes:=(seconds mod 3600) div 60;
  seconds:=(seconds mod 60);

 hoursStr:='0'+inttostr(hours);
 MinutesStr:='0'+inttostr(minutes);
 SecondsStr:='0'+inttostr(seconds);

labelResult.caption:=format('%s:%s:%s',[copy(hoursStr,length(hoursStr)-1,2),
copy(minutesStr,length(minutesStr)-1,2),copy(secondsStr,length(secondsStr)-1
,2);
end;

bye

See borland.public.delphi.internet. It's nothing to do with the internet so I
don't know why you've sent it there and every delphi newsgroup you can find.

It can't be done in Delphi.  Try Visual Basic or C++.

I hope that was a Joke???
(The lack of smileys, etc. indicates that you actually
 mean that this can't be done in Delphi?)

Huh? It would be easy. No-one's prepared to do it for the kid, because
it's obviously a school assignment, and he's cross-posted it to most
Delphi ng's.

As if you could do anything in VB that you can't do easier in Delphi!

Are Monty Python videos banned in Oslo, or is the dead parrot sketch
taken as a national insult?

Yes, it was a joke.  I thought it would be clearly a joke to
even slightly experienced Delphi users.  I'm sorry if it wasn't
clear.  Of course, it would be nice if he went back to his
teacher and said that it couldn't be done in Delphi.

Dodgy argument "As if you could do anything in VB that you can't do easier
in Delphi!" - maybe you can do anything in Delphi... but not necessarily and
always easier!
