TDateTime Class Reference

#include <e32std.h>

class TDateTime

Detailed Description

A date and time object in which the individual components are accessible in human-readable form.

The individual components are: year, month, day, hour, minute, second and microsecond.

These components are stored as integers and all except the year are checked for validity when a TDateTime is constructed or assigned new values.

This class only supports getting and setting the entire date/time or any component of it. It does not support adding or subtracting intervals to or from a time. For functions which manipulate times, use class TTime.

TInt Hour()const [inline]

Gets the hour component of the date/time.

Returns: The hour.

MicroSecond ( )

TInt MicroSecond()const [inline]

Gets the microsecond component of the date/time.

Returns: The microsecond.

Minute ( )

TInt Minute()const [inline]

Gets the minute component of the date/time.

Returns: The minute.

Month ( )

TMonth Month()const [inline]

Gets the month component of the date/time.

Returns: The month. EJanuary to EDecember. Offset from zero, so add one before displaying the month number.

Second ( )

Set ( TInt, TMonth, TInt, TInt, TInt, TInt, TInt )

IMPORT_C TIntSet(TIntaYear,
TMonthaMonth,
TIntaDay,
TIntaHour,
TIntaMinute,
TIntaSecond,
TIntaMicroSecond
)

Sets all date and time components.

Note:

1. When setting the day and month, subtract one because the ranges are offset from zero.

2. If the function returns an error, only those fields preceding the field which caused the error will be changed. For example, if the hour is out of range, the year, month and day will be set, all other components will remain unchanged.

ParameterDescription
aYearYear. No check is made on its validity, except that if the date is set to February 29th, the year can only be set to a leap year, otherwise an error is returned.
aMonthMonth. The valid range is EJanuary to EDecember. If an attempt is made to set an invalid month, or if the current day number in the month is greater than or equal to the number of days in the new month, an error is returned.
aDayThe number of the day within the month, offset from zero. If greater than or equal to the total number of days in the month,an error is returned.
aHourHour. Range is 0 to 23.
aMinuteMinute. Range is 0 to 59.
aSecondSecond. Range is 0 to 59.
aMicroSecondMicrosecond. Range is 0 to 999999.

Returns: KErrNone if successful, KErrGeneral if not.

SetDay ( TInt )

IMPORT_C TIntSetDay(TIntaDay)
