So far, you have been working with methods that receive data when you open them. But you have yet to use methods that return data. Up to now, all methods you have written have specified void. Void indicates that there is no return value. As an example of a method that returns data, you could use the class method GetTickCount() from the WinAPI class.
GetTickCount() returns an integer that is the number of thousands of seconds that the system has been running.
If you want to create a method yourself that can return data, you must remember two things. Instead of using void, you must specify which data type you want returned. Here the possibilities are endless. All forms of data types may be returned, as well as database buffers and objects. You also have the option of specifying any type. This means that the method can return several different data types. In addition to this specification, you must also enter a command called return and specify what you want returned. Return must always be placed at the end, as this command concludes the method.

Hey, do you mean GetTickCount() returns the time elapsed SINCE the startup of system, INSTEAD of the time of actual day??
That really sounds more logical, as Timenow() and WinAPI::GetTickCount() return values apparently not relationed.

GetTickCount() returns an integer that is the number of thousands of seconds that the system has been running and not the time which I think Raul is interested in.

I need to know the exact time of system.
Timenow() gives a integer, but the precision range is in the order of seconds. I would need to get the time, in a more precise precision, in the order of milliseconds.
TimeOfDay datatype is the number of seconds of the actual day... let's say 125, this is, 0 hours, 2 minutes, 5 seconds. I'd need the milliseconds, too!!
I've checked winApi, etc, but didn't found some function similar to this... any (simple) way to achieve this??
