This structure represents a date and time using individual members for the month, day, year, weekday, hour, minute, second, and millisecond.

typedef struct _SYSTEMTIME { 
  WORD wYear; 
  WORD wMonth; 
  WORD wDayOfWeek; 
  WORD wDay; 
  WORD wHour; 
  WORD wMinute; 
  WORD wSecond; 
  WORD wMilliseconds; 
} SYSTEMTIME;

Remarks

It is not recommended that you add and subtract values from this structure to obtain relative times.

The following list shows tasks to perform instead:

• Convert the SYSTEMTIME structure to a FILETIME structure.
• Copy the resulting FILETIME structure to a ULARGE_INTEGER structure.
• Use usual 64-bit arithmetic on the ULARGE_INTEGER value.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 1.0 and later.
Header: Winbase.h.
