[RESOLVED] Code for date reverse..please Enter!

Hi,

I want with button1 click to change the pocket pc current date to (for example- 01.01.1990 , and with button2 click to change the pocket pc to its real date ( for example 14.09.2006)

Can anyone knows how to do it??

:confused: :confused: :confused:

are you trying to change the date on the pocket pc, or a date variable in your appliciation

Yes I'm trying to change the date in my pocket pc for a specific time (that I'll set) and with another button I'll set it back to its real date .

it is a small app I want to make for using another applications in the pocket pc. means that this small app. will continue to run in my pocket pc while I operate another app.

:confused:

This class will allow you to change the time on the device

VB Code:

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
 
Public Class DeviceDateTime
 
    Public Sub New()
 
    End Sub
 
    'System time structure used to pass to P/Invoke...
    <StructLayoutAttribute(LayoutKind.Sequential)> _
    Private Structure SYSTEMTIME
        Public year As Short
        Public month As Short
        Public dayOfWeek As Short
        Public day As Short
        Public hour As Short
        Public minute As Short
        Public second As Short
        Public milliseconds As Short
    End Structure
 
    'P/Invoke dec for setting the system time...
    <DllImport("coredll.dll")> _
    Private Shared Function SetLocalTime(ByRef time As SYSTEMTIME) As Boolean
 
    End Function
 
    Public Function SetDeviceTime(ByVal p_NewDate As Date)
        'Populate structure...
        'Substitute <YOUR DATE OBJECT> with your date object returned via GPRS...
 
        Dim st As SYSTEMTIME
        st.year = p_NewDate.Year
        st.month = p_NewDate.Month
        st.dayOfWeek = p_NewDate.DayOfWeek
        st.day = p_NewDate.Day
        st.hour = p_NewDate.Hour
        st.minute = p_NewDate.Minute
        st.second = p_NewDate.Second
        st.milliseconds = p_NewDate.Millisecond
 
        'Set the new time...
        SetLocalTime(st)
    End Function
End Class

Thanks , But I didn't understand how to use it ?

I need to have 2 buttons in my app:

1. to change the date of my pocket pc to 01.01.1990

2. to restore the real date of today.

Can you tell me how to make this short thing.? :confused:

its a class...
you create an instance,
call the function,
pass in a date you want the device to be changed to

easy

FORGIVE ME , But I don't know how to do it.

I know that this is a class , but I don't know how to call this function

can I just put " SetDeviceTime() " in button click ?

I don't want to change the date every time.

I just want to make button1 to reverse the date of the pocket pc to 01.01.1990 ( and it suppose to be permanent for button1 , I mean I won't change it only at the code)

and button2 will return the state into the regular one ( current date).

what should I put in that 2 buttons?

You do realise you will have to store the current date in a variable in the application?

'member variable
m_originalDate As Date


button 1
originalDate = Date.Now()
Dim l_changeTime As New DeviceDateTime
l_changeTime.SetDeviceTime(Date.Parse("01/01/1990"))

button 2
Dim l_changeTime As New DeviceDateTime
l_changeTime.SetDeviceTime(m_originalDate)

Thanks,

I see that this code should be at buttons 1,2

but I didn't understand this : originalDate = Date.Now()

isn't it suppose to be : m_originalDate= Date.Now() ?

thanks for now , I'll check this code at 20:30 PM and let you know how it was.

oh i cant wait..... :bigyello:

It is GREAT !!! works perfect thanks.
