Time Format

[john5632]

Hi, I am getting getting time through CTime::GetCurrentTime() but I am getting time in 24 hours format. How can I change it in 12 hours format?

AFTER getting currenttime you can use Format method for changing time format as you want

The documentation[^] is always the first place to look.

It's time for a new signature.

CTime::GetCurrentTime() returns a CTime object, not a string, so it has not a format. To get the formatted string, have you used the CTime::Format function? Use it with %I instead of %H. P.S.: you cannot read the documentation on MSDN?

I am using like

szTimeDisplay.Format(L"%02d:%02d:%0d",tm.GetHour(),tm.GetMinute(),tm.GetSecond());

I also tried as you told but not worked?

CTime::Format only takes one parameter, and that's a format string. The format is based on strftime rather than the printf style you're expecting. MSDN has an example[^] at the bottom of the page that might give you a leg up in the right direction. Cheers, Ash

use this instead:

szTimeDisplay = tm.Format(_T("%I:%M:%S"))

Thanks, how to get AM/PM ?

[sharp prospector]

use %p

szTimeDisplay = tm.Format(_T("%I:%M:%S %p"))
