Current Date in WebUI

[jdaming]

I recently had to get the current date (could be quite easily expanded to time also I believe) and found a solution I thought I would post incase someone has this problem.

It means you don't have to use a webservice like this tutorial suggests: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/373286A-01/uibuilder/wuib_gsg1/

The trick is using pythons datetime class.  I find a lot of cool basic functions can be used this way.  Here is the code that is run when the stop button is pressed:

from datetime import date
runtime.SetProperty("Output.Text",str(date.today()))

Hi jdaming,

Very cool!

You might consider posting this in the NI Community as Example Code.

Have a great day,
