    Need Help displaying local time zone, please.

    Hi
    I would like to know how I can display the local time zone in a label but not just the GMT offset, I want the whole deal like Windows does.
    example: (GMT
    +/- offset)nameofcity

    Thanks to a snippet I found online I am able to populate a listbox with all of the Windows XP dafault time zones however I can't work out how to extract just the local TZ from the system.

    I'm using VB6, MSDN is way over my head as I'm not up to speed with the lingo.
    I learn better by example(s).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    BTW, I already have a Mod with the following:

    Code:
    Private Type SYSTEMTIME
       wYear As Integer
       wMonth As Integer
       wDayOfWeek As Integer
       wDay As Integer
       wHour As Integer
       wMinute As Integer
       wSecond As Integer
       wMilliseconds As Integer
    End Type
    
    Private Type REGTIMEZONEINFORMATION
       Bias As Long
       StandardBias As Long
       DaylightBias As Long
       StandardDate As SYSTEMTIME
       DaylightDate As SYSTEMTIME
    End Type
    
    Private Type TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION
        Bias As Long
        StandardName(31) As Integer
        StandardDate As SYSTEMTIME
        StandardBias As Long
        DaylightName(31) As Integer
        DaylightDate As SYSTEMTIME
        DaylightBias As Long
    End Type
    
    Private Const TIME_ZONE_ID_INVALID = &HFFFFFFFF
    Private Const TIME_ZONE_ID_UNKNOWN = 0
    Private Const TIME_ZONE_ID_STANDARD = 1
    Private Const TIME_ZONE_ID_DAYLIGHT = 2
    
    Private Declare Function GetTimeZoneInformation Lib "kernel32" _
    (lpTimeZoneInformation As TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION) As Long
