Here is a link to setting up the date time on the status bar. It's just a
string so you could really put anything there. I prefer using CTime as Joe
illustrated to using _strtime(), but you may find something interesting
here. This example is only updating every minute, but you could change the
resolution. The OnTimer() routine would be the same in a dialog, you'd just
update a static field on the dialog rather than the status bar.

Hi

how to display the system date time running real time in Dialog,
including seconds ?

I know declaring like:
SYSTEMTIME systime;
ZeroMemory(&systime,sizeof(SYSTEMTIME));
GetSystemTime(&systime); // gets current time

        then access the SYSTEMTIME structure:

typedef struct _SYSTEMTIME {
  WORD wYear;
  WORD wMonth;
  WORD wDayOfWeek;
  WORD wDay;
  WORD wHour;
  WORD wMinute;
  WORD wSecond;
  WORD wMilliseconds;
} SYSTEMTIME;

but how to get it running in realtime as it elapses seconds by seconds
like

    8:56:01 AM Monday, December 02, 2008
...then
    8:56:02 AM Monday, December 02, 2008
...then
    8:56:03 AM Monday, December 02, 2008

Regards.
