Hello developers
I don't know how to work with timers, but

Does anyone have a countdown timer sample like attached image?
(With start, pause, stop buttons)

I would be so thankful if someone please help me.
Regards

Information about timer is available with google search eg.
https://wiki.freepascal.org/TTimer

Write code and show where is your problem.

You probably want to learn about the free pascal keyword "now" and the
DateUtils unit (google "fpc now" and "fpc unit DateUtils") rather than
the timer.
"Now" returns a TDateTime from which you can extract the current clock
time.
