You can set up a variable to hold Yes or No as to whether the Timer should run or not. At the beginning of the script, set the variable to No(%%Timer = No). In the StartBUTTON event set it to Yes, in the StopBUTTON set it to No and in the Timer event only execute the Timer code if @EQUAL(%%Timer,Yes).

Try this Tim:
| Code: |
TITLE Timer Demo
option scale,96
option fieldsep,"|"
option decimalsep,"."
dialog create,Timer Demo,-1,0,200,100
dialog add,BUTTON,bStart,10,10,65,25,&Start
dialog add,BUTTON,bStop,45,10,65,25,S&top
dialog add,Status,Stat
dialog show
:Evloop
wait event,.1
%E = @event()
goto %E
:Timer
if @equal(@timer(1,S),1)
dialog set,Stat,@timer(1,v)
else
dialog set,Stat,
end
goto Evloop
:bStartBUTTON
timer start,1,chrono,@datetime(DD-HH:NN:SS)
goto Evloop
:bStopBUTTON
timer stop,1
goto Evloop
:CLOSE
exit
|
See if that isn't what ya want. 
Edit:
Removed @substr() function from the :Timer label. It should work for
anybody now.

I edited my previous post and removed the @substr() function for the
:Timer label. It was originally written for VDS 4. Sorry!
It should work for ya now!

No problem.
Here's a timer based on SnarlingSheep's concept:
| Code: |
TITLE Timer Demo
option scale,96
option fieldsep,"|"
option decimalsep,"."
rem Timer is "OFF" for starters
%Y = off
rem These will keep track of your hours, minutes, and seconds
%H = 0
%M = 0
%S = 0
dialog create,Timer Demo,-1,0,200,100
dialog add,BUTTON,bStart,10,10,65,25,&Start
dialog add,BUTTON,bStop,45,10,65,25,S&top
dialog add,Status,Stat
dialog show
:Evloop
rem wait 1 second then goto the Timer label
wait event,1
%E = @event()
goto %E
:Timer
rem If %Y is equal to "ON" then...
if @equal(%Y,on)
%S = @succ(%S)
if @equal(Sx,59)
%S = 0
%M = @succ(%M)
end
if @equal(%M,59)
if @equal(%S,59)
%H = @succ(%H)
end
end
dialog set,Stat,%H:%M:%S
else
rem Otherwise do this...
dialog set,Stat,
end
goto Evloop
:bStartBUTTON
rem Turn the timer on here
%Y = on
goto Evloop
:bStopBUTTON
rem Turn the timer off here
%Y = off
goto Evloop
:CLOSE
exit
|
You don't have a TIMER command and @timer() function with VDS 3 that's
why my first example didn't work for ya.
Edit
There's a typeo in the :Timer label ->
if @equal(Sx,59) should be
if @equal(%S,59)
Sorry!
