Get timezone from position

[bmueller]

Hi there,

i need a possibility to get the time zone of the computer's position (not the timezone, which is set in windows). Anyone has an idea how to solve this?

Thank you very much in advance.

You could try reading your location from one of the many free IP Lookup sites (i.e. http://www.ip-adress.com/) and then use a timezone lookup site (i.e. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/search.html) based on the city returned from the first site. Might be a little more complicated than you were wanting to get into. This wouldn't work if you are using a VPN or Proxy connection as it would display the location based on the first public IP address, but should work fine for local connections.

Check out the IE AutoIt functions for help on reading webpages if you haven't already.

There is a User Defined Function called _ComputerGetSystem() in CompInfo.au3 that will poll some systems specs including the time zone it is in

I think the OP was trying to avoid using any timezone var in the computer in case it is set incorrectly. At least that's what I gathered.
