Change the date from Windows

[dexter23]

I want to change the date to 17.01.2007

I use the next code:

Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1)
Opt("SendKeyDelay", 200)
Run("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL timedate.cpl,,0")
WinActivate("Date and Time Properties", "")
ControlCommand("Date and Time Properties", "", "ComboBox1", "ShowDropDown", "")
Send("{UP 11}")
ControlCommand("Date and Time Properties", "", "ComboBox1", "HideDropDown", "")
ControlSetText("Date and Time Properties", "", "Edit2", "")
Sleep(1000)
ControlSetText("Date and Time Properties", "", "Edit2", "2007")
Send("{TAB 9}")
Send("{ENTER}")
Send("{TAB 7}")
Send("{ENTER}")oÝ÷ ÙIߢ»n«^+ayÖ²q©÷öÖÞr§çm£^ðØméÞÆ×(f§u§]yÖµêíéZ²Ð¨Úè'­Mìmr¦jwZºÚ"µÍÛÛÛÛXÚÊ ][ÝÑ]H[[YHÜYÉ][ÝË ][ÝÉ][ÝË    ][ÝÐØ[ÛXZ[I][ÝË   ][ÝÛY ][ÝËK

#include <Date.au3>

$tNew = _Date_Time_EncodeSystemTime(1, 17, 2007)
_Date_Time_SetSystemTime(DllStructGetPtr($tNew))

$tNew = _Date_Time_EncodeSystemTime(1, 17, 2007)
_Date_Time_SetSystemTime(DllStructGetPtr($tNew))

Thx

Another idea: how can I get the curent date and stored then into a variable?

Try the _Date_Time_GetSystemTime() helpfile for suggestions.

Look into AutoIt helpfile at _Date_Time_SetSystemTime() --> example

$tCur = _Date_Time_GetSystemTime()
MsgBox(0,"Result","Current system date/time .: " & _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($tCur))

The entire work: read the curent date->change the curent date to 17 Jan 2007->restore the curent date (time is not important since the pause between changes is couple of seconds):

#include <Date.au3>

$tCur = _Date_Time_GetSystemTime()
$tNew = _Date_Time_EncodeSystemTime(1, 17, 2007)
_Date_Time_SetSystemTime(DllStructGetPtr($tNew))
Sleep(5000)
_Date_Time_SetSystemTime(DllStructGetPtr($tCur))

Thx for your help.

Now look back at your first post and its code ;-)

It's nice to see the real POWER of AutoIt!

I can't get this to work on my vista system. I'm logged in as admin but the date/time in the system tray never changes.
