hi all,
I'm trying to place the date and time in my statusbar, but the time does not change and remains static, I think I need a loop or something, I google it and found several ways to get time from my system, and this is the only one that works with 12h am-pm
maybe is simple but can not get a function for that, I do not want to do it for me, just guide me or the name of a function and excuse my language, I'm from latin america ^^
regards

Code:
//add time.h
struct tm newtime;
char am_pm []="am";
char t_buf [26];
__time64_t long_time;
errno_t err;
_time64 (&long_time);
err = _localtime64_s (&newtime, &long_time);
if (newtime. tm_hour>12) strcpy_s (am_pm, sizeof (am_pm),"pm");
if (newtime. tm_hour>12) newtime.tm_hour -=12;
if (newtime. tm_hour==0) newtime.tm_hour =12;
err = asctime_s (t_buf,26,&newtime);
wsprintf (t_buffer,"%.19s %s",t_buf, am_pm);
SendMessage (h_statusbar, SB_SETTEXT, 0, (LPARAM) t_buffer);Code:
//more optimized
char am_pm []="am";
SYSTEMTIME slt;
GetLocalTime (&slt);
if (slt.wHour>12) strcpy_s (am_pm, sizeof (am_pm),"pm");
if (slt.wHour>12) slt.wHour -=12;
if (slt.wHour==0) slt.wHour =12;
wsprintf (t_buffer,
"%02d/%02d/%d @ %02d:%02d:%02d %s",
slt.wDay, slt.wMonth,slt.wYear,
slt.wHour,slt.wMinute,slt.wSecond,
am_pm);
SendMessage (h_statusbar, SB_SETTEXT, 0, (LPARAM) t_buffer);regards
