Logitech G15 MxO Applet (Beta)

There is no internet or network functions in this code. The MCT time is a basic math calculation that I came up with, which uses the computer's time zone.

Without looking at the code I believe its something like this

(-8 - (currenttimezone))
-8 is Pacific / Mega City Time

So if I ran through it, and I live in central (-6), I get -8 - -6 = -8+6 = -2. This gives me the time difference. I then apply this to current time, and bingo.

Another example is Italy is GMT + 1, so -8 - +1 = -8 - 1 = -9 hr diff.

Also, the time and HP/SP routines are separate. Basically what I do, is that I prepare the information (Time, and bars if applicable), draw the information onto a mini canvas (you can see it in the debug menu) and then I send that canvas to the LCD. If it can't read the bars, it will at least display the time. I'll give the program a shot on my laptop (I put vista on it) in a little bit. My current code has some errors and kinks I have to iron out first before it compiles.

Source will be available with Beta 3. Don't be suprised if you don't see C or C++

So no DST then?

Seems to work with my Vista just fine. However, I run my MxO with XP SP2 compatibility, and Disable Desktop Composition.

I haven't tested DST with other timezones outside of US and Italy (was testing it with SEPET). I just get the current time from the PC, and whatever I get back from GetTimeZoneInformation() filling in the Bias. That's what I'm using.

//Correct for the MxO timezone
function GetTimeZoneDiff: integer;
var
    TimeZone: TTimeZoneInformation;
begin
    GetTimeZoneInformation(TimeZone);
    // Pacific is -8, Bias is in minutes, so div by 60 and negative it.
    // If you're -6 like me, then its 360 div 60. -8 - -6 = -8 +6 = -2 hr diff.
    // Or if you're +2 GMT, then its -8 - 2, which is -10 hr diff
    Result := (-8 - (TimeZone.Bias div -60);
end;

EDIT Oct 15th
Beta 3
Changes: Jack-in system with examples. Source included.

Todo:
*Currently MCT time drawing, and HP/IS bar drawing are based on the same timer. I might be splitting them up to run on 2 individual timers. 1 for the clock, and the other for an adjustable refresh time on the HP/IS bars.
*Configureable options and tie-in into Logitech GamePanel Manager.

Nov 2nd Update

*Have separated the MCT and the Game Data refresh timers. Currently in making the Game Data timer configurable. Probably ini since I hate registry coding

*Added supposed DST code. Converts players time to UTC (taking into account DST), then takes off 8hrs.
