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 <CkMimeW.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    CkMimeW mime;
    success = mime.SetBodyFromPlainText(L"Message with a Date header.");
    if (success == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",mime.lastErrorText());
        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
    const wchar_t *now = mime.currentDateTime();
    wprintf(L"Current date/time: %s\n",now);

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

    const wchar_t *head = mime.getEntireHead();
    if (mime.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",mime.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    wprintf(L"%s\n",head);
    }
