Comments
|
The
Time$
statement requires a string variable in one of the following formats:
HH
HH:MM
HH:MM:SS
where HH is between 0 and 23, MM is between 0 and 59, and SS is between 0 and 59.
The
Time
statement converts any valid expression to a time, including string and numeric values. Unlike the
Time$
statement,
Time
recognizes many different time formats, including 12-hour times.

Example

This example returns the system time and displays it in a dialog box.
Const crlf = Chr$(13) + Chr$(10)
Sub Main()
oldtime$ = Time
msg1 = "Time was: " & oldtime$ & crlf
Time = "10:30:54"
msg1 = msg1 & "Time set to: " & Time & crlf
Time = oldtime$
msg1 = msg1 & "Time restored to: " & Time
MsgBox msg1
End Sub
