put this in an OnTimer handler with a 1sec timer interval.

Note that this is not locale-sensitive. To create code that handles lo=

display, take a look at my Locale Explorer. If you don't care, you can=

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
