I was wondering if I can check the timezone with FW?
I am looking for u function that is returning something like GMT +01:00

Thanks,
Marc

Marc,

The Win32 API function to use is GetTimeZoneInformation().

Can we see your code for this?

It was posted on the old FW NG:
Here it is:

Code: Select all Expand view: function timezone() Local oReg, ret_val oReg := TReg32():New(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation", .f. ) ret_val := oReg:Get( "Bias", 0 ) oReg:Close() ret_val := Round( ret_val / 60, 0 ) * -1 Return ret_val

Ok, we have added it to the FW library. Thanks.
