Float to DateTime conversion

[barnarp]

Hi,

How can I convert the float value .983333333333333 to be equal to the date value (hh:mm) of 00:59?

Regards

Not sure what you are trying to do, as from the help.
'fractional part of the TDateTime value is fraction of a 24 hour day that has elapsed.'

So if you pass your value to
Timetostr(0.983333333333333);
you get 23:36:00 which is almost a full day as you would expect.

Multiply it by sixty to give you the 59 part, then throw that into the appropriate parameter of the EncodeTime function. See the Delphi help for details.

It may help us if you explained exactly what you are trying to achieve.
