jaberwacky Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Hi. I'm trying to use GetDateFormatEx with difficulty. Can you see where the problem lies? I think I've tried just about combination of parameters etc. that I could think of short of taking a shotgun to my computer. Func GetDateFormatEx() Local Const $date_str = DllStructCreate("wchar[80]") Local Const $date_format = DllCall("Kernel32.dll", "int", "GetDateFormatEx", "wstr", "en-US", _ "dword", NULL, _ "struct*", NULL, _ "wstr", NULL, _ "struct*", $date_str, _ "int", DllStructGetSize($date_str), _ "wstr", '')[0] ConsoleWrite("Last Error Message: " & _WinAPI_GetLastErrorMessage() & _ "Last Error: " & _WinAPI_GetLastError() & @CRLF & _ "date_format: " & $date_format & @CRLF & _ "DllStructGetData($date_str, 1): " & DllStructGetData($date_str, 1) & @CRLF & @CRLF) EndFunc Helpful Posts and Websites: AutoIt3 Variables and Function Parameters MHz | AutoIt Wiki | Using the GUIToolTip UDF BrewManNH | Can't find what you're looking for on the Forum?

jaberwacky Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 Wow! Thanks you two. I don't know what I'd do without you. Probably would remain in a constant state of cringe.
