Timezone

[Marc Vanzegbroeck]

I was wondering if I can check the timezone with FW?
I am looking for u function that is returning something like GMT +01:00

Thanks,
Marc

Marc,

The Win32 API function to use is GetTimeZoneInformation().

Can we see your code for this?

It was posted on the old FW NG:
Here it is:

Code: Select all

function timezone()
   Local oReg, ret_val
   oReg := TReg32():New(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation", .f. )
   ret_val := oReg:Get( "Bias", 0 )
   oReg:Close()
   ret_val := Round( ret_val / 60, 0 ) * -1
Return ret_val
