How to add a number of minutes to a time

[BRADENSTOKE]

I have a time in string format ie '09:45'
I want to convert this to a new time + n minutes
ie: time+190 minutes.
I can EncodeTime(09, 45, 0, 0);
but how do I add 190 or any number of minutes after this ?

hi

I'd do it like this:

1 = a day, so I'd divide this down and multiply by your factor:-

var OneMin : real;
:
OneMin := 1/24/60;
newtime := currenttime + (OneMin * 190);

..or

just set OneMin := 0.000694444 (or as a Const if you want).
