IAppointment::put_Start

A version of this page is also available for

Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3

4/8/2010

The Start property gets or sets the time when an Appointment starts.

To set the value of the Start property, call the property method described here.

To get the value of the Start property, see the IAppointment::get_Start property method.

Syntax

HRESULT put_Start(
  DATE st
);

Parameters

• st
  [in] Reference to the date object that defines the start. For information on the DATE type, see IPOutlookApp::VariantTimeToSystemTime. For information on the SYSTEMTIME structure, see SYSTEMTIME.

Return Value

This method returns the standard values E_INVALIDARG, E_OUTOFMEMORY, E_UNEXPECTED, and E_FAIL, as well as the following:

• S_OK
  The method completed successfully.

Remarks

Dates must be between 1/1/1900 and 12/31/2999 inclusive.

The default start time is the top of the next hour. For example, if the current time is 10:37 A.M., the default start time is 11:00 A.M.

If you set the Appointment's End to a time before it's Start, Outlook Mobile ensures that the Appointment remains valid by automatically updating the Start time to maintain the original Duration.

get_Start returns the Start value that will be saved, not the last value set.

The Start and End times for recurring Appointments are set in terms of the Timezone property (Calendar Property ID's), but the Start and End times for individual Appointments are set and read in terms of the local (mobile device's) Timezone. For example, a recurring Appointment set to recur at noon London time, would occur at 4:00 AM Pacific time.
