COleDateTime::SetDateTime

int SetDateTime( int nYear, int nMonth, int nDay, int nHour, int nMin, int nSec );

Return Value

Zero if the value of this COleDateTime object was set successfully; otherwise, 1. This return value is based on the DateTimeStatus enumerated type. For more information, see the SetStatus member function.

Parameters

nYear, nMonth, nDay, nHour, nMin, nSec

Indicate the date and time components to be copied into this COleDateTime object.

Remarks

Call this member function to set the date and time of this COleDateTime object.

See the following table for bounds for the parameter values:

Parameter	Bounds
nYear	100 – 9999
nMonth	1 – 12
nDay	1 – 31
nHour	0 – 23
nMin	0 – 59
nSec	0 – 59

The actual upper bound for nDay values varies based on the month and year. For months 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 12, the upper bound is 31. For months 4, 6, 9, and 11, it is 30. For month 2, it is 28, or 29 in a leap year.

If the date or time value specified by the parameters is not valid, the status of this object is set to invalid and the value of this object is not changed.

Here are some examples of time values:

*nHour*	*nMin*	*nSec*	Value
1	3	3	01:03:03
23	45	0	23:45:00
25	30	0	Invalid
9	60	0	Invalid

Here are some examples of date values:

*nYear*	*nMonth*	*nDay*	Value
1995	4	15	15 April 1995
1789	7	14	17 July 1789
1925	2	30	Invalid
10000	1	1	Invalid

To set the date only, see COleDateTime::SetDate. To set the time only, see COleDateTime::SetTime.
