Look in the CCS example file, EX_GLCD.C. It shows how to do it.

The file is in this folder:

c:\Program Files\PICC\Examples

Did you modify any of the CCS graphics functions, such as glcd_text57() ?

Also, what is your version of the compiler ?

Nothing is modified. Compiler version is 3.249
Iam using 18F442 @ 20 Mhz.

definition:
Code:
int seconds, minutes, hours;
char timeins[10];
int timestr;
char itoaf[10];
char colon[] = ":";
char point[] = ".";


Code:
void showtime(int x, int y)
{
timestr = gettime_hours();
sprintf(itoaf, "%d", timestr);
strcat(timeins, itoaf);
strcat(timeins, colon);


timestr = gettime_minutes();
sprintf(itoaf, "%d", timestr);
strcat(timeins, itoaf);
strcat(timeins, colon);


timestr = gettime_seconds();
sprintf(itoaf, "%d", timestr);
strcat(timeins, itoaf);

glcd_text57(x, y, timeins, 1, ON);
}


gettime return only int number.
It seems that this numbers are random, sometimes is all fine, sometimes this numbers are showing ... why ? maybe some delay for lcd ? everything work fine, but numbers no

You are using the strcat() function on the timeins[10] array.
What does the strcat() function expect as parameters ?
Something is wrong with one of the parameters that you have
given to your first usage of strcat(). What is it ?

I don't really want information. I want you to look closely at your
parameters. I want you to think about the problem.

What is the definition of a string ?

What are you giving to the first strcat() function ?

Is it a string ?

OK, I'm going to quit the coaching mode.

It's not a string until you make it a string. In your code, it's just
an un-initialized array. You have to initialize it to be a zero-length
string. You can do this by setting the first byte to 0, or by using
the following method:

char timeins[10] = {""};

A string is an array of characters with a final byte of 0.

If you just declare an array, it's not set to anything.
It can have garbage in it. If you want to use the array
as a string, then you must initialized it as a string.
In the example I gave, it's set to a zero length string.
The compiler sets the first byte to 0, to indicate this.
