Time Statement
This standard VB statement sets the computer's time. Syntax
Time[$] = expression
|
|
expression |
An expression that evaluates to a valid time |
Returns
Not applicable Usage
When Time (with the dollar sign, $) is used, expression must evaluate to a string of one of the following forms:
hh
|
Sets the time to hh hours 0 minutes and 0 seconds. |
hh:mm
|
Sets the time to hh hours mm minutes and 0 seconds. |
hh:mm:ss
|
Sets the time to hh hours mm minutes and ss seconds. |
Time uses a 24-hour clock. Thus, 6:00 P.M. must be entered as 18:00:00. If the dollar sign ($) is omitted, expression can be a string containing a valid date, or a variant of vartype 7 (date) or 8 (string). If expression is not already a variant of vartype 7 (date), Time attempts to convert it to a valid time. It recognizes time separator characters defined in the International section of the Windows Control Panel. Time (without the $) accepts both 12- and 24-hour clocks. Example
This example changes the time on the computer's clock. Sub Button_Click Dim newtime As String Dim answer As String On Error Resume Next i: newtime = "5:30" answer = PM If answer = "PM" or answer = "pm" then newtime = newtime &"PM" End If Time = newtime If Err <> 0 then Err = 0 Goto i End If End Sub
