Syntax

HRESULT VariantTimeToSystemTime(
  DATE date,
   SYSTEMTIME * pst
);

Parameters

  • date
    [in] The Variant time date object to convert.
  • pst
    [out] Reference to system time equivalent. For information about the SYSTEMTIME structure, see SYSTEMTIME.

Return Value

This method returns the standard values E_INVALIDARG, E_OUTOFMEMORY, E_UNEXPECTED, and E_FAIL, as well as the following:

  • S_OK
    The method completed successfully.

Remarks

For All Platforms

A Variant time is stored as an 8-byte real value (double) representing a date between January 1, 100 and December 31, 9999, inclusive. The value 2.0 represents January 1, 1900; 3.0 represents January 2, 1900, and so on. Adding 1 to the value increments the date by a day. The fractional part of the value represents the time of day. Therefore, 2.5 represents noon on January 1, 1900; 3.25 represents 6:00 A.M. on January 2, 1900; and so on. Negative numbers represent the dates prior to December 30, 1899.

For Windows Mobile

This method was needed for Windows Mobile powered devices running software prior to Pocket PC 2000. Its current implementation simply calls the Windows Embedded CE function VariantTimeToSystemTime, passing the same parameters. (DATE is type-defined as double in the file wtypes.h**.)**
