How do I use GetLocalTime?

[tdm116]

I wrote a VB6 app that uses date parts--DatePart("h", Now), but this part of the program does not appear to work on machines running Windows 95.

I was told to use an API call and was given this text:

Public Type SYSTEMTIME
wYear As Integer
wMonth As Integer
wDayOfWeek As Integer
wDay As Integer
wHour As Integer
wMinute As Integer
wSecond As Integer
wMilliseconds as Integer
End Type

Dim ST as SYSTEMTIME

GetLocalTime ST

How do I use this info? Does it all go in a module? Is anything missing? Is there a better way to get current date and time parts that is supported by Windows 95?

Thanks!

How about something easy like

Private Declare Sub GetLocalTime Lib "kernel32" (lpSystemTime As SYSTEMTIME)
Private Type SYSTEMTIME
    wYear As Integer
    wMonth As Integer
    wDayOfWeek As Integer
    wDay As Integer
    wHour As Integer
    wMinute As Integer
    wSecond As Integer
    wMilliseconds As Integer
End Type
Private Sub Form_Load()
    'KPD-Team 1998
    'URL: http://www.allapi.net/
    'E-Mail: [email protected]
    Dim MyTime As SYSTEMTIME
    'Set the graphical mode to persistent
    Me.AutoRedraw = True
    'Get the local time
    GetLocalTime MyTime
    'Print it to the form
    Me.Print "The Local Date is:" & MyTime.wMonth & "-" & MyTime.wDay & "-" & MyTime.wYear
    Me.Print "The Local Time is:" & MyTime.wHour & ":" & MyTime.wMinute & ":" & MyTime.wSecond
End Sub
