Set time zone using Clock Configuration Service Provider

Question

I am attempting to use the Clock CSP to set the system time zone on a Windows Mobile 6 Professional device (Opticon H-19A).

I am using the following XML:

<characteristic type="clock">
  <parm name="TimeZone" value="35" />
<characteristic>

DMProcessConfigXML is returning E_FAIL and the XML output string matches the XML input string.

Does anyone know why this isn't working? Is there a better (reliable) way to set the time zone for Windows Mobile 5/6 & Pocket PC 2003.

Answer 1

An alternative is to use the GetTimeZoneInformation/SetTimeZoneInformation API to adjust the time zone.
