Hi Friends,

I have stuck at one point. I get milliseconds by using GetTickCount() function. Now I want to convert it in date-time format like HH:MM:SS format.

Is MFC provide api to convert this directly, or I will use any other way? Please suggest me the solution.

C++

DWORD dwTickCount = GetTickCount();
DWORD m_dwNextCommandTickCount = (DWORD)(dwDiff * 1000/dFrameRate + dwTickCount);

In above code I want to convert both dwTickCount and m_dwNextCommandTickCount in time format.

Thanks in advance

The value is in milliseconds so ...

C++

DWORD ticks = GetTickCount();
DWORD milliseconds = ticks % 1000;
ticks /= 1000;
DWORD seconds = ticks % 60;
ticks /= 60;
DWORD minutes = ticks % 60;
ticks /= 60;
DWORD hours = ticks; // may exceed 24 hours.
printf("%d:%02d:%02d.%03d\n", hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);

If you don't care about milliseconds, MFC's CTimeSpan class may work for you.

CTimeSpan span(ticks/1000);
printf("%d %02d:%02d:%02d\n", span.GetDays(), span.GetHours(), span.GetMinutes(), span.GetSeconds());
