CTime::GetDayOfWeek

Article
12/01/2015

Returns the day of the week represented by the CTime object.

Syntax

int GetDayOfWeek( ) const throw( );

Return Value

Returns the day of the week based on local time; 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, to 7 = Saturday.

Remarks

This function calls GetLocalTm, which uses an internal statically allocated buffer. The data in this buffer is overwritten because of calls to other CTime member functions.

Example

// Print out the day of the week using localized day name
UINT DayOfWeek[] = {
   LOCALE_SDAYNAME7,   // Sunday
   LOCALE_SDAYNAME1,   
   LOCALE_SDAYNAME2,
   LOCALE_SDAYNAME3,
   LOCALE_SDAYNAME4, 
   LOCALE_SDAYNAME5, 
   LOCALE_SDAYNAME6   // Saturday
};
TCHAR strWeekday[256];
CTime time(CTime::GetCurrentTime());   // Initialize CTime with current time
::GetLocaleInfo(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT,   // Get string for day of the week from system
   DayOfWeek[time.GetDayOfWeek()-1],   // Get day of week from CTime
   strWeekday, sizeof(strWeekday) / sizeof(strWeekday[0]));
ATLTRACE(_T("%s\n"), strWeekday);               // Print out day of the week
