Read about the Time Manager functions in the SDK. TimGetSeconds, TimSecondsToDateTime, etc.

Currently, I use the conduit piece to assign a time-stamp to the record when the handheld syncs using the "C" function: ctime. This returns a value like: "Thu Apr 25 14:12:00 PM 2002". > What I need to do is move that function from my conduit code into my palm program to assign a timestamp when I write the record to the database. I have looked over the API reference, and I am not seeing a way to get the current time from the Palm and return it in a format similar to the above. I don't need the format to be identical to the above, but I do need both date and time stored in the same string. Can someone help point me in the right direction? > > Thanks. > > - Marshall Parker > Owner, MazeSoft Publications > > > -- > For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/ > -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
