Syntax

public int time([int newValue])

Run On

Called

Parameters

newValue
Type: int
The new value; optional.

Return Value

Type: int
The current value.

Remarks

If you pass in a value that has a different data type than the object, the data type of the object will be changed to match the data type of the value.

A COMVariant object has a date and time data type if its data type is set to COMVariantType::VT_DATE. When you set the value of the object, you must set the date part of the value in addition to the time. To set the date part of the value, use the date property.

Examples

The following example creates a COMVariant object of type VT_DATE and sets the date part of the value to 24 December 1998, and the time part of the value to 13.24.

{ 
    COMVariant var = new COMVariant( 
        COMVariantInOut::IN_OUT,  
        COMVariantType::VT_DATE); 
  
    // Set value of the object 
    var.date(Str2Date("12.24.1998", 213)); 
    var.time(Str2Time("13:24:00")); 
}
