windows system time and date dialogue

[davidpcl]

Does anybody have any ideas as to how you would open the windows time/date dialogue from the system tray programatically?

[Elsa Fung]

try executing the date and time command lines (use Connectivity -> Libraries & Executables -> System Exec.vi), the example attached works with windows xp, right click on the System Exec.vi and select Help for more information ^_^

Good luck!

** Oops... I missed the dialogue part.. sorry, not sure how to pull up the dialogue.. if you're trying to set the windows date and time, you can use the command "date new_date" where new_date is in <mm-dd-yy> and "time new_time"

If anybody has been looking at this I have found a way - using system Exec.vi execute the following command -

c:\WINNT\system32\control.exe date/time

This will bring up the date/time dialogue (replace WINNT with windows on xp)

Here's the link where I got it from - some other interesting bits and pieces there.

Hi Clark,

Are still looking for a LabVIEW developer?

Hi nab,

I'm really not sure if the company is looking or not - you best bet is to go to www.sts.serco.com and look on the recruitment page - you'll find details there on how to submit you CV.
