Hi,

I World like to know how to use Date and Time; for instance, how to show date and time in the appropriate Ctrl (shall we say a static label)?; or how to write current date and time in a file?

I would appreciate some help.

Thanks. Cheers,

Javier

Hi Javier,

To get curent time and date, there are functions

GetSysTime();
GetUtcTime();
GetSysDate();

The simplest way to show it is just sending it to the Ctrl as any other Value:

lineedit << GetSysTime();
// OR in case of label
label.SetLabel(AsString(GetSysTime()));

If you want to use other then default formatting, there are (at least) two ways to format it:

FormatDate();
FormatTime();
Format(); // uses formatting string defined globaly by SetDateFormat();

To get time or date from String, there is

StrToDate();

Have a look into the manual: Date formating and scanning, Date and Time and aslo Core Values tutorial (section 4).

Best regards,
Honza
