Thread: System Date/Time

Ok, I tried doing the following:

Code:

	SYSTEMTIME sys;
	CString datetime;

	datetime.Empty();
	datetime.Format("%i/%i/%i", sys.wMonth, sys.wDay, sys.wYear);

	GetSystemTime(&sys);
	AfxMessageBox(datetime);

to display the current time/date at the time the action occurs. But what I get is something like: "5248/5248/5248" w/o the quotes. I looked up the SYSTEMTIME structure and the GetSystemTime(...) function, but I don't understand what I am actually doing wrong.

So my question is, does anyone have any idea as to why it isn't showing the current date?

You are writing unintialised values to your string, then calling the routine that initialises them, do it the other way round.

Thank you a lot! That fixed it greatly. I hate making those mistakes....
