Extract date from date and time

Question

I am using a VCL forms application in C++ Builder.

How can I get just the date from a TDateTime object that has both a date and a time associated with it?

Here is an example:

TDateTime test("25/09/2012 12:00am");

I am after a TDateTime object that has just the following information:

"25/09/2012"

Thanks

Answer 1

You can use DateOf

However, note that it will return "25/09/2012 00:00" as TDateTime type includes the time, so if you really need TDateTime returned you can't avoid the hour:minute info.

If you want to extract day/month/year info from TDateTime you can use DecodeDate function
