CTime::GetDayOfWeek

  • Article

intGetDayOfWeek()const;

Remarks

Returns the day of the week based on local time; 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, ..., 7 = Saturday. This function calls GetLocalTm, which uses an internal, statically allocated buffer. The data in this buffer is overwritten as a result of calls to other CTime member functions.

Example

// Print out the day of the week using localized day name

UINT DayOfWeek[] = {
   LOCALE_SDAYNAME7,   // Sunday
   LOCALE_SDAYNAME1,
   LOCALE_SDAYNAME2,
   LOCALE_SDAYNAME3,
   LOCALE_SDAYNAME4,
   LOCALE_SDAYNAME5,
   LOCALE_SDAYNAME6   // Saturday
};

TCHAR strWeekday[256];
CTime time(CTime::GetCurrentTime());   // Initialize CTime with current time
::GetLocaleInfo(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT,   // Get string for day of the week from system
   DayOfWeek[time.GetDayOfWeek()-1],   // Get day of week from CTime
   strWeekday, sizeof(strWeekday));

TRACE("%s\n", strWeekday);               // Print out day of the week
