Getting local time from FS

[chazzie]

I'm trying to get local time (hours and minutes), but I sometimes get a very high number, like 14453. Sometimes I get the correct hour and minute, like Hr=14 Min=22

Here's how I read FSUIPC:

If FSUIPC_Read(&H238, 1, VarPtr(Tmp), dwResult) Then

If FSUIPC_Process(dwResult) Then

LocHr = Tmp

End If

End If

Any thoughts?

Dim auiTime() As Byte
ReDim auiTime(3)

  FSUIPC_Read(&H238, 3, VarPtr(auiTime(1)), dwResult)    
  FSUIPC_Process(dwResult)

  lblClock.Caption = Format(auiTime(1), "00") & ":" & _
                         Format(auiTime(2), "00") & ":" & _
                         Format(auiTime(3), "00")

Straight out of the SDK

Thanks a bunch rickalty! Seems like the only difference was to dim the value as Byte rather than Integer.

My project moves on :D
