If I understand this correctly, you just want to grab the current time and display it in edit boxes. To display the entire date in a single box: (editcontrolstring is the CString variable associated with the edit box.) CTime tDate = CTime::GetCurrentTime(); CString strDate = tDate.Format( "%B %d, %Y" );//This will give you month day, year _editcontrolstring_ = strDate; Now, to break it down a little more, you can do something like this: CTime tDate = CTime::GetCurrentTime(); CString strDate = tDate.Format( "%B" );//This gives the month _editcontrolmonthstring_ = strDate; strDate = tDate.Format( "%d" );//This gives the day _editcontroldaystring_ = strDate; And so on.
