[nsbasic-ce] Re: setting the date and time

This control worked for me. I was excited about using the NTP client from IP*Works!, but it never worked. No big deal, I just wrote a SOAP call to grab the correctly formatted 'local time' from a Ruby on Rails server, which is this in Ruby code: Time.now.strftime("%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S %p")

The MGCEWin32 control is no longer support - the author passed away in 2004. Most of the code then moved to the NSBWin32 control. It is available on all devices. It should work for you: >The MGCEWin32 installer is not included with NSBasic.

[nsbasic-ce] Re: setting the date and time

I feel kinda dumb for not noticing, but IP*Works! includes an NTP Client. The control is called 'NetClock'... not to be confused with the Usenet control called 'NNTP'. So I should be able to use this, which is nice b/c the MGCEWin32 control won't install on my device. --- In nsbasic...@yahoogr

The MGCEWin32 installer is not included with NSBasic. I found a copy in the download link on the Big Red Toolbox Page: http://www.nsbasic.com/pub/ce/BigRedToolbox/MGCEWin32.exe. However, when I try to install it, ActiveSync says: Unsupported Device Type - MGCEWin32 Control Set does not support

[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
