displaying Time/Date in VB6

[Designer]

hey guys,

not something i've ever tried to do before but how would i display the time & date in an application written in vb6. I want to change a label caption to display the date/time with it refreshing every second from a timer or is there a better way to achieve this?

I really would like it to be displayed like:

20:15:43 Friday 1st July 2005

is there a quick way of doing this as i've consulted the books i own and none of them have anything about working with time/date and i've also googled this subject but i'm turning up very little. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I dont know if you can change the time format in VB6. But the only thing you need to do is to insert a timer and a label in a form. Set the ENABLED property of the timer to TRUE and INTERVAL to 60. Double click the Timer Control and type this code:

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Label1.Caption = Time + Date
End Sub

The output will be like this:

7/1/2005 7:45:20 PM
Refreshing every second.

excellent, thanks mate

is it possible to also display the weekday i.e Friday 23rd January 2005 or does that need a lot of extra work?

In VBScript you can use the formatdatetime function but you will have to see whether it works in VB6.
