Time in textbox

I just want to know if there's a way to display running time (you can see the changes in seconds, minutes) in a textbox? I want to save the date and time and I want it to be really updated.
I've tried date picker, dtpTime format but it does not change. setting it to Now does not work too.
Should I use Timer? Thanks.

Yes, set the intervals to 1000, and put Text1.text = Now() in the Timer event of the timer.

I would use a Label instead of a text box, and change the look of the label ro resemble a text box.

Yes, you can use the timer.

something like this:

Code:

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    Label1.Caption = Time
End Sub
