On Windows Mobile (but I guess it's the same on Windows) in a native C++ app, how would I go about setting a SYSTEMTIME structure correctly? Assuming I have int year, month, dayOfMonth, hour, minute, second; I obviously should set the wHour, wYear, etc members of the SYSTEMTIME structure, but what happens with wDayOfWeek in that case...
I am writing a shell where I need to launch several child processes at once and record the system time and user time. So far I am able to do it. The only problem is that I am using wait4 to grab the system resources used by the child program and put it in my rusage structure called usage. How can I launch all the processes at the same ...
I am developing a desktop app and it have an trial period after which application will get expire. Currently I am using system time. Since user can easily change it, I thought its not a good way to follow. Is there any other time service that is available which I can make use of? I heard something like system clock count or something l...
I have a need to convert a utc system time to local time and find the corresponding utc offset. I wouldn't mind getting the time zone also. As far as I can tell, SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime returns no information on these. Anyone have a good way of determining the UTC offset and time zone? ...
I'm needing some Ints to use as seed to random number generation and so I wanted to use the old trick of using the system time as seed. So I tried to use the Data.Time package and I managed to do the following: import Data.Time.Clock time = getCurrentTime >>= return . utctDayTime When I run time I get things like: Prelude Data.T...
I'm working with a WPF/C# app where I need to lock out users from accessing a particular feature for some amount of time. Basically, from the time a certain event happens, I want to prevent certain access for the next 24 hours. The simple case: Event happens, save timestamp (using DateTime or similar) User tries to access area 15 hou...
I have some unit tests that expects the 'current time' to be different than DateTime.Now and I don't want to change the computer's time, obviously. What's the best strategy to achieve this? Thanks ...
Hi, I'm having a hard time getting SetSystemTime working in my C# code. SetSystemtime is a kernel32.dll function. I'm using P/invoke (interop) to call it. SetSystemtime returns false and the error is "Invalid Parameter". I've posted the code below. I stress that GetSystemTime works just fine. I've tested this on Vista and Windows 7. ...
Is it possible to determine the day of the week, using SYSTEMTIME, if a date (month-day-year) is provided or is this structure one-way only? What is the most lightweight way to accomplish what I am asking if SYSTEMTIME cannot do it (using Win32)? ...
Right now I do something like this: SYSTEMTIME st; st.wHour = 6; st.wMinute = 23; BOOL result = SetSystemTime(&st); The goal is to get it to show that exact time on my local machine. When I run the program it changes it to 8:23 instead of 6:23. How can I get it to show the correct local time? ...
I know I can do this if I have a struct tm structure, but what if I want to do the same thing with a SYSTEMTIME. I could do this manually but just wondering if there's function that does this already. Thanks void PrintTimeSCII(struct tm *time) { char timebuf[26] = {0}; asctime_s(timebuf, 26, time); printf("%s\n", time...
Hello, I found one piece of sample code from web forum. When I began to learn it. I found the output is very strange. Why does the code can't work well?

What is the most efficient way of getting current time/date/day/year in C language? As I have to execute this many times, I need a real efficient way. I am on freeBSD. thanks in advance. ...
We have a bunch of T-SQL scripts dependent on today's date and when they run. If one doesn't run on the week it should, we end up temporarily setting the system time a day before, run the script, then set it back. Is there anyway to temporarily set the system date for a script without changing the original script, like when you execute...
Hello. I need restriction for time changes coming from different sources. The best way, as i think, is to hook WINAPI function SetSystemTime (and maybe SetLocalTime). I tried to hook this by using EasyHook library with injection in all running processes, owned by current system user. But it had no effect. How can I do that? ...
