[nsbasic-ce] Re: setting the date and time
I was thinking about making a SOAP call that will grab the correct date/time. I don't thing I will go so far as to write a NTP client, but I plan to grab the time/date from a network source. --- In nsbasic...@yahoogroups.com, "bwolodko" wrote: > > --- In nsbasic...@yahoogroups.com, "t2thecathp" wrote: > > > > Is it possible to set the date and time on the handheld device with > > NSBasic/CE code? > > > > Everytime I reset the device, it thinks it is 2004 or 2005. > > > > Sounds like the RTC is not working... need new battery? > > I think you can set or retrieve the time and date by using: > > addobject "MGCEWin32.API", "API", 0, 0, 0, 0 > d = API.SystemTime > API.SystemTime = Now > > See The Big Red Toolbox , MGCEWin32 > > http://www.nsbasic.com/ce/info/BigRedToolbox/MGCEWin32.htm > > The problem is who sets the values before you call this?

To test for the object being registered, you can use an error test after addobject: on error resume next addObject "IPWorks.HTTP","http" if err.number <> 0 then ShellExecute "open","regsvrce","http50.ocx" addObject "IPWorks.HTTP","http" end if on error goto 0 When I tested out doing an addobject for "fake.street.123", I got an err.number of 103, but that might not be universal.

I think you can set or retrieve the time and date by using: addobject "MGCEWin32.API", "API", 0, 0, 0, 0 d = API.SystemTime API.SystemTime = Now See The Big Red Toolbox , MGCEWin32 http://www.nsbasic.com/ce/info/BigRedToolbox/MGCEWin32.htm The problem is who sets the values before you call this? InputBox? Shades of old DOS when it asked you for the time and date at boot time. Hope this helps..

[nsbasic-ce] setting the date and time
Is it possible to set the date and time on the handheld device with NSBasic/CE code? Everytime I reset the device, it thinks it is 2004 or 2005. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nsb-ce" group.
