    GetSystemTime

    I am facing some problem in displaying system time. When It display in message box, it is different from the time shown on PC at botton right corner.

    Could you please guide me.

    Here is code.
    Code:
    SYSTEMTIME st;
    	char buf[80];
    
    		
    	GetSystemTime(&st);
    
    	sprintf(buf,"%d:%d:%d ",st.wHour, st.wMinute, st.wMilliseconds);
    
    	//GetTimeFormat( 0, 0, &st, "hh':'mm':'ss tt", buf, sizeof(buf) );
                  MessageBox( NULL, buf, " SYSTEM TIME", MB_OK );

    The system can periodically refresh the time by synchronizing with a time source. Because the system time can be adjusted either forward or backward, do not compare system time readings to determine elapsed time. Instead, use one of the methods described in Windows Time.

    Try using GetLocalTime instead of GetSystemTime.

    Good luck,
