In oleaut32.inc
VariantTimeToSystemTime PROTO :DWORD,:DWORD,:DWORD
should be
VariantTimeToSystemTime PROTO :DWORD,:DWORD
Greg,
The actual decorated name is "_VariantTimeToSystemTime@12" so if the arguments are DWORD sized, 3 parameters are correct. I took this from the oleaut32 library for XP. The older ones are the same.
Hutch,
You are absolutely right. My mistake. It does take 12 bytes. One of the args is a double.
INT VariantTimeToSystemTime(
double vtime,
LPSYSTEMTIME lpSystemTime
);
I was getting an error from POASM about the arguments. I quickly looked at MSDN, saw two args and didn't notice the double.
POASM's INVOKE doesn't like
VariantTimeToSystemTime PROTO :DWORD,:DWORD,:DWORD
it also doen't like VariantTimeToSystemTime PROTO :REAL8,:DWORD
nor VariantTimeToSystemTime PROTO :QWORD,:DWORD
but it did accept VariantTimeToSystemTime PROTO :DWORD,:DWORD which is wrong.
Thanks for pointing that out. When using POASM, I need to keep in mind that I'm using a newly released assembler. I'm also unable to assemble most of the FPU instructions with POASM. I posted it on Pelle's Forum.
Hutch,
I tried assembling the same VariantTimeToSystem code with MASM. MASM's INVOKE doesn't like
VariantTimeToSystemTime PROTO :DWORD,:DWORD,:DWORD
Changing the PROTO to
VariantTimeToSystemTime PROTO :REAL8,:DWORD
or
VariantTimeToSystemTime PROTO :QWORD,:DWORD fixed the problem.
I'm using it like this
invoke VariantTimeToSystemTime, varDate1, ADDR MyST1
