SYSTEMTIME

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

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

Members

wYear

Specifies the current year.

wMonth

Specifies the current month; January = 1, February = 2, and so on.

wDayOfWeek

Remarks

It is not recommended that you add and subtract values from the SYSTEMTIME structure to obtain relative times. Instead, you should

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