' Create an object with current date and time
Dim firstDateTime As New cDateTime
' Set its values
firstDateTime.NewDate(2020, 12, 24)
firstDateTime.NewTime(20, 0, 0)
' Create another object with current date and time
Dim secondDateTime As New cDateTime
' Set its values
secondDateTime.NewDate(2021, 11, 25)
secondDateTime.NewTime(20, 30, 0)
Dim diffDate As DateInterval
' Calculate difference in DATE ONLY
diffDate = firstDateTime.DateDiff(secondDateTime)
' Display difference - in this case it will be 0 years, 11 months and 1 days
' The 0 years might be of surprise (2020 vs. 2021), but it is correct:
' total time difference is less than one year
MsgBox 0, "Years: " + diffDate.Years + $CRLF +
"Months:" + diffDate.Months + $CRLF +
"Days:" + diffDate.Days + $CRLF
