help with GetTimezoneInformation needed ...
[1/2] from: petr:krenzelok:trz:cz at: 11-Mar-2005 17:06
Hi,
I am trying to find out if red-icon-problem of IOS is caused by Rebol
incorrectly interpreting timezone info or it is OS who does it in
strange way, but I would need following routine to function :-) Sadly
enough, I get crashes ....
Here's MSDN reference -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/gettimezoneinformation.asp
It survives the function call, but I can't touch structure, or I get
crash ...
Thanks,

Well, one thing I noticed is that Standard name is an array
WCHARs, not chars. WCHAR is defined in winnt.h:
typedef unsigned short wchar_t;
typedef wchar_t WCHAR;
So it is a fixed size (32 elements) array of shorts (16bits each).
You can't just specify a rebol string! in the structure.
(That's essentially just a pointer -> 4bytes)
So your structure is not big enough.
Afterwards you also have to convert the wchar array back to a string.
This will show you how I've done it.
I've got the routine doing filling the structure correctly, but
I am not giving you all the code necessary to print it all out :) yet...
(See bottom for code)
