Wrong Time Zone

[heedaf]

I've got the following code

QDateTime timestamp = QDateTime::currentDateTime();
timestamp.setTimeSpec(Qt::LocalTime); 
     text = timestamp.toString("hh:mm:ss");

But the result shows UTC instead of my timezone. I'm using Win7 and I have the correct timezone listed. Any idea what the problem is?

currentDateTime returns time already in local time spec/zone, so the next line does nothing. Verify if the correct time zone/spec is used e.g. by printing:

qDebug() << timestamp.timeZone().displayName(timestamp) << timestamp.timeSpec();

Thanks for your reply.

timeZone() in timestamp.timeZone() doesn't come up and gives an error.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

build error or runtime error?
Could you post the error?

[Chris Kawa]

Did you #include <QTimeZone>?
For the future - if you get an error you should post what it says. We don't have a crystal ball you know ;)
