The following code fragment converts a randomly chosen UTC time to local time for London:
Example:
_LIT8( KEuropeLondon,"Europe/London" ); // Create a pointer to the time zone id. // This is the time zone for the local time to which you wish to convert. CTzId* myZoneId = CTzId::NewL( KEuropeLondon ); CleanupStack::PushL( myZoneId );
// Create a client interface object to the time zone server RTz myTZoneServer; // Connect to the time zone server, leaves if fails to connect User::LeaveIfError( myTZoneServer.Connect() ); CleanupClosePushL( myTZoneServer );
// Create a converter object. CTzConverter* myConverter = CTzConverter::NewL( myTZoneServer ); CleanupStack::PushL( myConverter );
_LIT8( KMyTime,"20050328:185600.00" ); // UTC time to convert (28 March 2005 18:56 hrs). TTime myTime( KMyTime ); // Create the time as a TTime object
// Convert UTC to local time in Europe/London time zone. myConverter->ConvertToLocalTime( myTime, *myZoneId ); // myTime is updated to hold the local time value.
// Clean up CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(3);// causes myTZoneServer.Close() to be called
