Hi;
Could anyone please explain to me how to use and for what is this function
from win32lib:
fecth_systemtime(atom SYSTEMTIME)
In the win32lib documentation there's is nothing about it.
Thanks
Rubens

So about the poor docs, I'll fix that. Anyhow, all this does is return the
data inside the supplied SYSTEMTIME structure pointer as a formatted
sequence of values. Namely ...
{
Year,
Month,
DayOfWeek,
Day,
Hour,
Minute,
Second,
Milliseconds
}
Now the real question is, how does the SYSTEMTIME structure get the right
values into it? Currently, these values are populated by the MonthCalendar
control type. In the next release there is also two new functions -
getSystemTime() which returns the current date/time in UTC and
getLocalTime() which returns it according to your timezone settings.
If you can't wait for the next release, here are the two new functions...
Firstly though you will need to add these three lines just after the
win32lib include...
constant
xGetSystemTime = registerw32Procedure(kernel32,"GetSystemTime",
{C_POINTER}),
xGetLocalTime = registerw32Procedure(kernel32,"GetLocalTime",
{C_POINTER})

Sorry Derek, I just receive the other "complete" email from topica now.
The program is working now.
Thanks

Hi Derek;
Thanks for the quick response!
I write this small program:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
include Win32lib.ew
constant xGetSystemTime = registerw32Procedure(kernel32,"GetSystemTime",
{C_POINTER})
constant xGetLocalTime = registerw32Procedure(kernel32,"GetLocalTime",
{C_POINTER})
object bla,t
t=GetSystemTime()
bla=message_box(sprint(t),"",0)
E:\EUPHORIA\PROGRAMAS\backup.EXW:10
GetSystemTime has not been declared
t=GetSystemTime()
