Date_Time_GetLocalTime() help needed

[jagordon]

Ok, I know there has got to be a simple explanation for this....

When I run this code, $tcur is always blank. What am I missing here?

#include <date.au3>

Global $tCur = _Date_Time_GetLocalTime()

$tCur = _Date_Time_GetLocalTime()

msgbox(0, "test", $tcur)

Two options here:

#include <date.au3>
Global $tCur
$tcur = _Date_Time_GetLocalTime()
$tCur2 = _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($tcur)
Msgbox(0, "test", $tcur2)
; - or - 
$tCur = _Now()
Msgbox(0, "test", $tcur)

The return type.

This will work:

#include <date.au3>

$var = _Date_Time_GetLocalTime()

msgbox(0,"", _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($var))

$var = _Date_Time_GetLocalTime()

msgbox(0,"", _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($var))

Jos already gave a sample of how to use it.
