Formatting Time: Automation Classes

The latest version of this topic can be found at Formatting Time: Automation Classes.

To format a time

1. Use the Format member function of either COleDateTime or COleDateTimeSpan to create a character string representing the time or elapsed time.

      COleDateTime time(1970, 12, 18, 17, 30, 0);
      // 18 December 1970, 5:30 PM
      CString s = time.Format(VAR_DATEVALUEONLY);
      // s contains the date formatted based on 
      // the current national language specifications
      // (locale ID). The time portion is ignored for 
      // formatting purposes in this case.   
   

For more information, see class COleVariant.
