 Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2003 9:02 pm Post subject: GetTickCount API |
 |
|
How can I get this API result into useful information:
| Code: | LOADLIB kernel32.dll
# Use @VAL() because the result is DWORD
%A = @val(@lib(kernel32,GetTickCount,INT:))
info %A
FREELIB kernel32.dll |

Try this out:
| Code: |
LOADLIB kernel32.dll
%A = @lib(kernel32,GetTickCount,INT:)
info Windows was started: @FORMAT(@FDIV(@FDIV(%A,1000),60),.2) Minutes Ago.
FREELIB kernel32.dll

I get a plain integer: 3641516 (millisecs). Converted to minutes it adds up to about 60, and
that the correct time since I booted.

Thanks SnarlingSheep! 
It returned "Windows was started: 5.31 Minutes Ago." which it just about
the time when it started.

I don't think it should be needed to use @VAL() even if the result is a DWORD value. |
