Member Function Documentation

QTime QTime::currentTime ( Qt::TimeSpec specification )   [static]

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

Returns the current time for the given specification.

To replace uses of this function where the specification is Qt::LocalTime, use the currentDate() overload that takes no parameters instead; otherwise, use QDateTime::currentDateTime() and convert the result to a UTC measurement.

For example, if you have code like

 QTime localTime = QTime::currentTime(Qt::LocalTime);
 QTime utcTime = QTime::currentTime(Qt::UTC);

you can rewrite it as

 QTime localTime = QTime::currentTime();
 QTime utcTime = QTimeTime::currentDateTime().toUTC().time();

See also QDateTime::toUTC().
