Type SYSTEMTIME wYear As Integer wMonth As Integer wDayOfWeek As Integer wDay As Integer wHour As Integer wMinute As Integer wSecond As Integer wMilliseconds As Integer End Type
Description & Usage
The SYSTEMTIME structure holds a date and time in an easily usable format. The structure is able to hold times precise to the millisecond, even though that information may not always be used.
Sometimes, the SYSTEMTIME structure is used not to hold a "regular" date and time but to hold a shifting one (such as the 1st Sunday in January or the 3rd Thursday of June). When this is used (usually when holding information relating to a time zone), wYear is always 0. wDay specifies which day, ranging from 1 (1st day) to 5 (5th or last day). wDayOfWeek identifies the precise day of the week.
