The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

delphi vista setlocaltime

Asked by kinnon_2000 in Delphi Curiosities, Delphi Programming, Windows Vista

Tags: delphi, kernel32, setlocaltime, vista

Hi,
I've built a browser shell for a group of clients which runs on vista using a stardard manifest. All settings saved in user appdata folder. This needs to be non admin application in order to start as shell, because vista wont allow admin applications to startup as shell or run when set to start as admin.

My issue is, this program gets a date/time from a server, so the date and time on all machines involved is the same. I'm using the setlocaltime call, but in vista this dosnt work, and returns false.

Is there another mathod to set the local machine time on vista that will work, without messing with uac or manifest files?

Regards,
Allan.

  result:= SetLocalTime(SystemTime);
  PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_TIMECHANGE, 0, 0);
