Monitoring Windows Time Change.

Eugene Lerner

10/10/2003 3:23:00 PM

Please help who knows how to watch for system time change.

I have a class library that creates an object
of 'NativeWindow' class and waits for "WM_TIMECHANGE"
that is broadcasted by Windows. This worked fine until I
started using my dll in Windows Service application.
Aparently Windows does not send "WM_TIMECHANGE"
to 'NativeWindow' created by background services.

I need any solution, not necessary "WM_TIMECHANGE"
handler. Just anything that would call client or raise
event if user changes PC's time.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Why cant MS ship a class with the windows.h constants and any others that we
always have to redefine, this has been a problem since pre .NET VB. If
theyre not going to support the native stuff this way , why allow it in the
first place.

Thank you, but this did not solve my problem. I'm not
worried about converting "windows.h" into C#. My problem
is how to receive a notification when user has changed
time in the PC.

See if SystemEvents.TimeChanged is what you want.

Yeah but still its reinventing the wheel isnt it :D Thanks anyway. Doesnt
take much to convert the .H file so why wont MS do it and put it under
Microsoft.Win32.* blah namespace.

There is huge gaping holes in the libraries in .NET that you can drive a
planet through.

Hi Eugene,
I agree with our MVP. It seems the SystemEvents.TimeChanged event is your
right choice.
If anything I can help, please let me know.

Do you realy think MS should wrap all of the ~70000 Win32 API's in a Microsoft.Win32.* blah namespace, or do you have a list of
prefered API's? If yes, I'm just currious to see it, I'm sure a lot of them are available through some Managed FCL classes.

Fijesé usted que fueron solo 10 episodios, me habían parecido mas.
Que agradecidos estábamos en esos tiempos ante una propuesta así.
Ahora la TV es 95% mierda, pero hay tanta cantidad que en ese 5% uno puede
pasarse muchas horas diarias.

Excelente programa televisivo. A mí me gustaba trata de adivinar para
donde iba la trama. Burke lo hací extremadamente interesante.

P.S. Yo creo que los viejos mas que nadie disfrutamos tratando de
desenmarañar las historias que nos han ido metiendo en la cabeza. Los
jóvenes son mas dados a creer lo que les cuentan porque no tienen
mucha experiencia viendo las consecuencias de vivir engañado. No se
dan cuenta que así como la esposa lo puede estar engañando, los
gobiernos y las instituciones lo hacen para beneficio de ellos.

Sobre Buddha, no es tan simple. En realidad, los ucranianos salen al
encuentro asi a las teorias muy populares y promulgadas por los
scientificos rusos (escuela de Fomenco) segun las cuales Achiles
(Aquiles) era un principe ruso quien vino a ayudar a los griegos, asi
que tienen el derecho a los estrechos de Constantinopla (Ankara). Cada
vez que un pais descubre algo, el otro descubre algo mAs grande e
importante.Seria gracioso, si a veces no fuera tragico (dos aviones
derribados por los artilleros ucranianos en Georgia, etc.).
