Now (Function) In french: Maintenant Allows you to: - Return or modify the system time (current time defined for the current computer).
- Initialize some Date, Time or DateTime elements of WLanguage.
Notes For system time management, this function is identical to TimeSys. Res = Now()
Res = TimeToString(Now())
HeureAct = Left(Now(), 4)
TimerSys("Horloge", 100, 1)
PROCEDURE Horloge()
HeureActuelle = TimeToString(Now())
Syntax
Finding out the system time and initializing a WLanguage element with the system time Hide the details
<Element> = Now()
<Element>: Character string or type corresponding to the element The result of the function changes depending on how the function is used.
Element to initialize. This element can correspond to: - a character string. It will contain the system time in HHMMSSCC format (HH corresponds to hours, MM to minutes, SS to seconds and CC to hundredths of a second).
- a Date, Time or DateTime variable.
- a Date, Time or DateTime item.
- an edit control or a Date, Time or DateTime column.
- an attribute of a Looper control associated with the Value property of an Edit control or a Date, Time or DateTime column.
In this case: - the Date elements will be initialized with the system date.
- the Time elements will be initialized with the system time.
- the DateTime elements will be initialized with the system date and time.
Remarks - Warning To change the system time, you must have administrator rights on the current workstation.
- To get the time in a format other than HHMMSSCC, you must format the string using DateToString, Right, Left, etc.
- The HHMMSSCC format was chosen because it allows you to compare two times with hundredths-of-a-second accuracy.
In this version, Now can only be used to return the system time of the current computer (or the one defined for the computer where the browser is running). In simulation mode, the time used is the time on the PC where the simulation is run. At runtime, the time of the mobile device is used.
