Re: How to Set System Time and Date using a Form or Control from ATEasy

Is there a form\control for setting the time and date?

Need to define some Windows API. But you can use the following:

! open control panel applet to change date time and time zone
WinExec("timedate.cpl")

! set parent to the test exec form
Delay(1000) ! let the window create before we can find it
h=FindWindow(0, "Date and Time")
SetWindowLong(h, -8, TestExec.GetCurrentForm().hWnd)

! disable current form
TestExec.GetCurrentForm().Enabled=False

! Wait until Date/time window closed
while IsWindow(h)
DoEvents()
endwhile

! re-enable
TestExec.GetCurrentForm().Enabled=True

Alternatively you can use the Windows API SetSystemTime defined in Kernel32.dll (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/sysinfoapi/nf-sysinfoapi-setsystemtime), you will have to provide your own form to set it.

I cannot use the functions "FindWindow" ,"SetWindowLong" and "IsWindow"
They do not exists.
What do i need to import?

    File = User32.dll
    ReloadOnStart = False
    LoadOnAccess = True
    Public = True

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

enumGetWindow: Enum Public
{
    GW_OWNER: Long Const = 4
}

DLL Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Procedure FindWindow(szClassName, sWindowName): AHandle Public Alias = FindWindowA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    szClassName: Val Long
    sWindowName: Val String



Procedure IsWindow(hWnd): Bool Public
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    hWnd: Val AHandle

Procedure SetWindowLong(hWnd, lIndex, dwNewLong): Long Public Alias = SetWindowLongA
