MIME CurrentDateTime Property

See more MIME Examples

Demonstrates the read-only CurrentDateTime property, which returns the current local date and time formatted as an Internet message date including the numeric UTC offset. The example uses it to populate a Date header field.

#include <C_CkMime.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;
    HCkMime mime;
    const char *now;
    const char *head;

    success = FALSE;

    mime = CkMime_Create();
    success = CkMime_SetBodyFromPlainText(mime,"Message with a Date header.");
    if (success == FALSE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkMime_lastErrorText(mime));
        CkMime_Dispose(mime);
        return;
    }

    //  CurrentDateTime returns the current local date and time formatted as an Internet message date,
    //  including the numeric UTC offset, for example: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600
    now = CkMime_currentDateTime(mime);
    printf("Current date/time: %s\n",now);

    //  It can be used to populate a Date header field.
    CkMime_SetHeaderField(mime,"Date",now);

    head = CkMime_getEntireHead(mime);
    if (CkMime_getLastMethodSuccess(mime) == FALSE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkMime_lastErrorText(mime));
        CkMime_Dispose(mime);
        return;
    }

    printf("%s\n",head);


    CkMime_Dispose(mime);
