Thread: How to read from date and time picker?

Hi,

How can I read from the date and time picker control? My DT picker is set to only show the time with the spin control. I need seperate data for the hour and minutes selected.
I've read through the MSDN description but I'm too noob to understand it.

Something like the code below:

Code:

SYSTEMTIME st = { 0 };

if (DateTime_GetSystemtime(hwndYourDateTimeControl, &st) == GDT_VALID)
{
  // Hour selected is in st.wHour
  // Minute selected is in st.wMinute
}

Ah, thanks.

Could you also tell me what would be the best way to set a timer of some sort to trigger an alarm at certain point? I've tried using the CreateWaitableTimer function but it locks up the program until it triggers.

If your program has a window, you can use the SetTimer function.
