I am implementing a basic CRM for a client than manages contacts
across multiple time zones.
They'd like a "customer's local time" clock to be shown in that
contacts card, based on the customers country,city values, and
don't mind using the net to retrieve GMT offsets.
They'd also like to use the control to do project time translation.
E.G, someone schedules an IM conference for 9am in Sydney, and it
localises accross everyon's calendar based on where they currently
are.
Has anyone done anything like this before, or at least know of a
place to start looking (esp. for a freely accessible time offset
resource)
As of REALbasic 2006 there is a Date.GMTOffset function in the Date
class that returns the difference between the user's local time and
Greenwich Mean Time (aka UTC) in hours.
