PBWin World Times - displays a list of current times in locations around the world

[Stuart McLachlan]

Using functions developed in previous threads on Windows Time Zones and Modal Inputboxes, a utility to display the current time for any number of locations in different zones.
Includes an implementation of a modal input box compiled to a SLL.
Feel free to do what you want with the source for your own use - including changing the VersionInfo/Copyright etc if you modify it (the VI is really just there as a model/demo - it's part of my application template) .

Note: If you wish to discuss anything about it, please create a thread in the Programming forum!

Small bug in the ModalInputBox if user used the system menu X to close it after accepting a value in the previous invocation.
(thatks to Mark Hunter for pointing it out).
Coorected zip attached.
(A bit bigger than the previous zip because it also contains a couple of UI enhancements)

prompted me to include local time as a 7 segment display above the list using an embedded font..



The 7 Segment font linked to in MCM's post is no longer valid, but I found a nice set of free 7 and 14 segment fonts here:

I've embedded the "DSEG7Modern-Bold.ttf". font in this application.
Attached zip contains everything needed to build the application. The only file required to run it is WorldTimes.exe.
Note: I have not include the .bas file to build the modal input box SLL. If you want that it's unchanged from the one iin the attachment to post No 2


Edit: Damned vBulletin software. Looks like it's just been updated to the latest (Mar 2022) v5.6.7 and I can no longer post a hash sign followed by a number to identify an earlier post in the thread (hence post No 2 above !). It gets turned into a link with the text "Community"

New Version 3.
Now Displays Location - Time Zone Name, Standard UTC offset and whether it is currently on Daylight Time when you double click on a location

New version. Handles Unicode Location Names properly (both ModalInputBox and WorldTimes main application required a couple of mods



I also needed a simple countdown timer that I could see across a room a few days ago, so I added one.
