Get the current date/time, including milliseconds

[scotty]

I've seen some posts about this in the past, but I've not seen any solutions. Is it possible to get the current system time, including milliseconds? Something along the lines of hh:mm:ss:SSS. I've looked into using TimerInit(), but (I think) that gives you the number of milliseconds since the epoch. I'm not sure I want to take the time to create a algorithm for converting that number into a date and time format. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks for the help!

I can't remember who create this script but, I save it on my misc folder....

While 1
    ToolTip(@Hour & ':' & @Min & ':' & @Sec & ':' & _MSec())
    Sleep(1)
WEnd

Exit

Func _MSec()
    Local $stSystemTime = DllStructCreate('ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort')
    DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'none', 'GetSystemTime', 'ptr', DllStructGetPtr($stSystemTime))

    $sMilliSeconds = StringFormat('%03d', DllStructGetData($stSystemTime, 8))
    
    $stSystemTime = 0
    
    Return $sMilliSeconds
EndFunc

Just amazing what you can find when using that search function up in right side of the title bar.
