[murthy.pramod]

Hi,

I have reading the details of message recieved. When i read the date at which the message recieved it give me an entry of GMT time
but now my phones time is set GMT +5:30 i.e of india . So how do i come to know how much time is set relative to the mean time and how can modify accodingly....

my code to return date of message entry is ...

    TMsvEntry msvEntry;
    TMsvId serviceid;
    
    User::LeaveIfError(iSession->GetEntry(id,serviceid, msvEntry));
    return msvEntry.iDate;

Please help

You can get the difference programatically using the TTime class.
The following code will give you the current time set on the device. You can find out the difference between the two times and get your value.

	TTime currentTime;
	currentTime.HomeTime();

Since you get timestamp in TTime, check its documentation in the SDK Help. Especially the "See also" section.

I did it in much simple way

User::LeaveIfError(iSession->GetEntry(id,serviceid, msvEntry));
return msvEntry.iDate+User::UTCOffset();

when i change the phone time behind the current time such that there are some messages which have come after the time set,and i recieve a new message it will not be the first message in inbox but the message details in the native phone application it shows the network time of the message not the phone time.

now when i am trying to extract message time from the Message entry in the phone it give me the phone time not the network time.

so how do i show the network time when the message was recieved ?
