Windows TimeConverter in VB 6.0
Posted by: Floresense Team
Attached is a TimeConverter product developed in VB6.0
It works on Windows 95 and above, and the screen looks like shown at the end of this page. Also, attached is the VB source code for the application.
Non-technical users can install the application's setup download. Its a fully proper windows 98 style installation package. You will have to download and extract the files and double-click on setup.exe for it to be installed as any other applicaiton on your machines.
Coding Logic:
The application simply reads the timezones registered in the windows registry when windows was installed.
Newer versions of windows are slowly doing away with registeries.. but I feel this application will and still work on even the newest Windows Vista since Microsoft has promised to keep backward compatibility for more years to support applications developed in VB till windows 2000.
The source code attached should be self explanatory.. There's nothing much to explain other than the syntax of code which will read or write to the windows registry. So, its better explained with comments inside the code than this article.
