Formatting Time: Automation Classes

Home |  Overview |  How Do I

To format a time

• Use the Format member function of either COleDateTime or COleDateTimeSpan to create a character string representing the time or elapsed time.

  COleDateTime time(70, 12, 18, 17, 30, 0);
  // 18 December 1970, 5:30 PM
  CString s = time.Format(VAR_DATEVALUEONLY);
  // s contains the date formatted based on 
  // the current national language specifications
  // (locale ID). The time portion is ignored for 
  // formatting purposes in this case.
