Thread: windows time change event

Hello all,

i need to detect when the time changes in windows. specifically, i am using an jni implementation in java to communicate with a short c program. the c should detect the time-change-event and passs it along to the java via jni. got everything working, excepted for the crucial part, i haven't been able to find the windows message (assuming thats how it can be detected) that notifies of such an event.

i am really hoping that someone knows something about this. i have been looking all over and there doesn;t seem to be anything usefull.

thanks.

Regards,

Nate

when i say "time change" i mean that the user has changed the date/time properties in windows. like, daylight-savings or a new time-zone. i am not interested in the actual time, merely the fact that the time was changed.

i hope i am being clearer. to reiterate, i want to know when the clock in windows is "set", not the passage of time.

thanks.

FYB,

thanks allot for taking a look into this for me. i appreciate your time. i may end up polling, but its sooooo now ideal I doubt it will work well enough to implement properly.

thanks again.
