MCIWndGetTimeFormat    
The MCIWndGetTimeFormat
macro retrieves the current time format of an MCI device in two forms: as a
numerical value and as a string. You can use this macro or explicitly send the MCIWNDM_GETTIMEFORMAT message. 
LONG MCIWndGetTimeFormat(
|     hwnd, |  | 
|     lp, |  | 
|     len |  | 
|    ); |  | 
Parameters
hwnd
Handle of the
MCIWnd window.
lp
Address of a
buffer to contain the null-terminated string form of the time format.
len
Size, in
bytes, of the buffer.
Return Values
Returns an
integer corresponding to the MCI constant defining the time format.
Remarks
If the time
format string is longer than the return buffer, MCIWnd truncates the string.
