SetTimeZoneInformation
The SetTimeZoneInformation
function sets the current time-zone parameters. These parameters control
translations from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to local time.
BOOL SetTimeZoneInformation(
|
CONST TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION *lpTimeZoneInformation |
// address of
time-zone settings |
|
); |

Parameters
lpTimeZoneInformation
Points to a TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION structure that contains
the time-zone parameters to set.
Return Values
If the
function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the
function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information,
call GetLastError.
Remarks
All
translations between UTC and local time are based on the following formula:
UTC = local time + bias
The bias is
the difference, in minutes, between UTC and local time.
