Help: Using GetSystemTime API

[Mikelo2k]

I need help using GetSystemTime under VB on a WinXP platform:

When I Declare:
Public Declare Sub GetSystemTime Lib "kernel32" (lpSystemTime As SYSTEMTIME)

It gives me an error like:
"User-defined type not defined", and I beleive that it's reffering to the "As SYSTEMTIME" area.

Can someone please show me how I could show the current time in a lablel when I press a command button.


Thanx,
Mikelo2k

You did define the type SYSTEMTIME in a module (or general declations section), right?

Maybe this function is deprecated and XP doesn't support it anymore.

No, i didn't know. Could you show me an example of it's use?
And what to define SYSTEMTIME as, string?

No, SYSTEMTIME is a structure, so you should define it as:

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
