Getting the time and date in universal time

Question: How can I get the time and date in Universal Time? Answer: Use the WIndows API function GetSystemTime. Example: procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var lt : TSYSTEMTIME; st : TSYSTEMTIME; begin GetLocalTime(lt); GetSystemTime(st); Memo1.Lines.Add('LocalTime = ' + IntToStr(lt.wmonth) + '/' + IntToStr(lt.wDay) + '/' + IntToStr(lt.wYear) + ' ' + IntToStr(lt.wHour) + ':' + IntToStr(lt.wMinute) + ':' + IntToStr(lt.wSecond)); Memo1.Lines.Add('UTCTime = ' + IntToStr(st.wmonth) + '/' + IntToStr(st.wDay) + '/' + IntToStr(st.wYear) + ' ' + IntToStr(st.wHour) + ':' + IntToStr(st.wMinute) + ':' + IntToStr(st.wSecond)); end;
