TrayTip and having variables as text?

[CurtimusPrime]

#include <Date.au3>
#include <TrayConstants.au3>

HotKeySet("^d", "WhatIsToday")

Global $Today = _Date_Time_GetSystemTime

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func WhatIsToday()
    TrayTip("Today's date", "Today is... " & $Today, 8)
    Sleep(8000)
    TrayTip("", "", 0)
EndFunc   ;==>WhatIsToday

all it outputs into tray bubble is:  Today is...

without getting the system time as text

u need read more about _Date_Time_GetSystemTime() :

#include <Date.au3>
#include <TrayConstants.au3>

HotKeySet("^d", "WhatIsToday")

Global $Today = _Date_Time_GetSystemTime()

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func WhatIsToday()
    TrayTip("Today's date", "Today is... " & _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($Today), 8)
    Sleep(8000)
    TrayTip("", "", 0)
EndFunc   ;==>WhatIsToday

that returns: Today is...  (time and date format with all 0's)

All is ok for me w7x64 no uac.

; Under Vista the Windows API "SetSystemTime" may be rejected due to system security

seems being on vista i cant use AutoIt system time functions

[Synapsee]

that can maybe help :

#include <Date.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', "The Date is:   " & _NowDate() & "   " & _NowTime())
