Title: Date & Time All Around The World
Post by: Tedd on October 13, 2013, 10:56:13 AM
Hi timezone fans:

Are you tired of wondering what the time is in another country?

Are you unhappy with flaky, halfway solutions?

Then look no further - Tedd's unpatented time zone formulator will take those worries away!

Works for all time zones! Calculates daylight saving accurately! Updates the time every minute!

Satisfaction guaranteed - or your money back!! :biggrin:

That's all folks!

the Key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones" does not exist on my machine (win7, x64), thus the dialog initialization fails. After manual selecting a time zone, it works perfect.

BTW: checked with regedit.

The missing time zones could be fixed :

i think there is another instance in HKLM - better to use that one, no ?
windows 7-64 should properly virtualize the 64-bit set to 32-bit

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones]

EDIT: that's what Tedd uses - HKLM

Thanks, I've fixed it now - I hope (attachment replaced in first posting.)


I would've expected there to be a different time zone selection for each user, but it appears there's only one for the machine - so the per-user key becomes redundant; now I'm using the name of the machine's current time zone. now I'm using the GetTimeZoneInformation function, like any sensible person should. :greensml:

Hi timezone fans:

:greensml: Very satiric and witty, Tedd :t
The program not only shows the time, it even saves the Forum's database space :biggrin:

Hi,

   Now works without any user input.  The original had me
select a time zone.

Regards,

Steve
