Dear all:

If we want to invoke windows system date and time dialogbox to change system date and time, we can use those command to do it:

Code:
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL timedate.cpl,,0 ;0--DateTime 1--TimeZone    



Here is a simple demo program, please check it.

Thanks.

Works fine on my WinXP SP2. Is not posible to achieve this without using rundll32.exe ?

Regards

rundll is intended mostly for scripts. In a real program it's better to invoke dll functions directly.

Try using LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress

You can import the function called "CPlApplet" from the file timedate.cpl. Check the win32 help file for more details.

Personally I think it'd be much easier to just keep using rundll32 for what you need. Keeps the compiled file size small, and doesn't require much code.

Importing the function keeps the file size small too.
