Hi,
May i know how to program/put/set clock in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0?
Can the Microsoft Visual C++ do it?

Example:
In my program, i want it alway show out the Time. How i can do it?

Thx
 

Hi to all,
yes of course visual c++ can do it. Just declare a structure of type SYSTEMTIME and call ::GetLocalTime(), as shown below:
...
SYSTEMTIME time;
::GetLocalTime(&time); //here GetLocalTime() fills the structure with the current system time
...

in order to show the time, you should call it repeatedly, for example from calls of WM_TIMER messages (every 500ms)
 

I am not very good in VC++, but know how to do it. here is the steps.

Create a Dialog based application

Add a member function to the dialog for WM_TIMER message using class wizard

In OnInitDialog function start a timer for every 500ms
Code: 
SetTimer(1,500,NULL);

In OnTimer function get the local time, format a string in the way you want
and update the control's text for display
Code: 
SYSTEMTIME sTim;
GetLocalTime(&sTim);
CString sTemp;
sTemp.Format("%4d/%2d/%2d :: %2d:%2d:%2d",sTim.wYear,sTim.wMonth,sTim.wDay,
   	    sTim.wHour, sTim.wMinute,sTim.wSecond);
m_strTime = sTemp;
UpdateData(FALSE);

I am attaching a sample application, Hope it helps you.
