hello,
i have a function that should return the current date of the device. here is
the function:
static CharPtr SetAutoDate ( void )
{
DateTimeType the_date;
ULong DateInSec;
Char theConvertDate [ dateStringLength ];
// initilize the varibles:
// get the seconds since 1/1/1904
DateInSec = TimGetSeconds ();
// gets the date and time to the_date (we don't use the time)
TimSecondsToDateTime ( DateInSec , &the_date );
// convert the secounds to the current date
//DateSecondsToDate ( DateInSec, the_date );
// convert the date to a string
DateToAscii ( the_date.month, the_date.day, the_date.year, dfDMYWithDots,
theConvertDate );
return (CharPtr)theConvertDate;
}
i call this function from this line:
StrCopy ( pAutoDate, SetAutoDate() );
pAutoDate is a CharPtr get by doing MemHandleLock.
but it doesn't work perfectly.
lets say the date is 11.12.00. while i'm doing the debug thing i see that in
the "theConvertDate" i get this date i want and need. but after the "return
(CharPtr)theConvertDate;" i see that in "pAutoDate" there is only - "11.1"
and not all the "11.12.00" that should be.
why is that ?? can any1 find the bug??
tnx in advance :-)
