C++ Project

RealistSpy

Hi

I am working on a vc++ project and I am having problem coding for a ticking clock.

#include <time.h>

String^ getClock()
	{
		SYSTEMTIME date;//@SYSTEMTIME: Specifies a date and time, using individual members for the month, day, year, weekday, hour, minute, second, and millisecond. 
                GetSystemTime(&date);//@GetSystemTime: Function that retrieves the current system date and time.
		String^ clock;

		int theSec(date.wSecond);
		int theMin(date.wMinute);
		int theHour(date.wHour);

		
		clock = Convert::ToString(theHour+":"+theMin+":"+theSec);

		return clock;
	}

I tried using the timer->tick but I got tones of error.

I can't get the clock to tick

Mark this as solved very silly fix.

What's the fix? Somebody is going to come here looking for an answer.

//timer-tick event handler
private: System::Void timer_Tick(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) {

                //needs to be called in a timer-tick event handler
		SYSTEMTIME date;//@SYSTEMTIME: Specifies a date and time, using individual members for the month, day, year, weekday, hour, minute, second, and millisecond. 
		GetSystemTime(&date);//@GetSystemTime: Function that retrieves the current system date and time.

		String^ clock;

		int theSec(date.wSecond);
		int theMin(date.wMinute);
		int theHour(date.wHour);

		clock = Convert::ToString(theHour+":"+theMin+":"+theSec);

	        clockToolStripStatusLabel->Text = Convert::ToString(clock);
		 }
