Examples

The following example, to be included as part of a larger program, demonstrates how to use InitVariantFromFileTime.

VARIANT var;
FILETIME ft;

GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(&ft);

HRESULT hr = InitVariantFromFileTime(&ft, &var);

if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
    // var now is valid and has type VT_DATE.
    VariantClear(&propvar);
}
