SetSystemTime - GMT and BST
-
my app allows the user to change the current time on the pc and it also displays the current time at the bottom of the apps window (its a full screen app so the user can't see the windows time). I've noticed that when I change the time in my app it changes correctly however the windows timer gets an extra hour added, I'm assuming this is due to BST, what is the preferred method for changing the time correctly so I don't get this extra hour? TIA, Andy
