Also, you can use FormatDateTime function and get the time formated automatically to the system settings:<br />
<br />
txtTimeS = FormatDateTime( Time(), vbLongTime )

For just use this: <br />
<br />
Format$(Now, &quot;H:nn:ss AMPM&quot;)<br />
<br />
<br />
This would produce:<br />
<br />
10:45:30 AM
</div>


For just use this:

Format$(Now, "H:nn:ss AMPM")


This would produce:

10:45:30 AM

We have recently upgraded our application from Visual Basic 4 to Visual Basic 6. &nbsp;A text box shows the time, utilizing the format set in the control panel &nbsp;Regional and Language Options. &nbsp;With the time set to h:mm:ss tt, instead of showing AM or PM, the text box displays the &quot;tt&quot; literal. &nbsp;The display was working correctly in VB4; this problem started just since the upgrade.<br />
<br />
Here is the code we are using to get the time format:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; dl&amp; = GetLocaleInfo(LOCALE_USER_<wbr />DEFAULT, LOCALE_STIMEFORMAT, buffer, 99)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; myLocale.TimeFormat = LPSTRToVBString(buffer)<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; txtTimeS = Format$(Time$, myLocale.TimeFormat)<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any idea what is going on or what to do about it?

We have recently upgraded our application from Visual Basic 4 to Visual Basic 6.  A text box shows the time, utilizing the format set in the control panel  Regional and Language Options.  With the time set to h:mm:ss tt, instead of showing AM or PM, the text box displays the "tt" literal.  The display was working correctly in VB4; this problem started just since the upgrade.

Here is the code we are using to get the time format:
    dl& = GetLocaleInfo(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, LOCALE_STIMEFORMAT, buffer, 99)
    myLocale.TimeFormat = LPSTRToVBString(buffer)

    txtTimeS = Format$(Time$, myLocale.TimeFormat)

time format hh:mm:ss tt yields time like 10:45:30 tt--not am or pm

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
