function getCurrentDateAndTime ( ) 
    local realTime = getRealTime ( ) 
    local cDate = string.format ( "%04d/%02d/%02d", realTime.year + 1900, realTime.month + 1, realTime.monthday ) 
    local cTime = string.format ( "%02d:%02d:%02d", realTime.hour, realTime.minute, realTime.second ) 
    return cDate, cTime 
end 

cDate, cTime = getCurrentDateAndTime ( )

I used the code of Solid's, and other code is just a gui, with " Time " and " Date " labels i wath to make : "Time : 00:00:00" and "Date 30/6/2012" for example beside the labels, the function he gived, is not showing errors, but not work too.

function GetCurrentDateAndTime ( ) 
    local aRealTime = getRealTime ( ) 
    return  
        string.format ( "%04d/%02d/%02d", aRealTime.year + 1900, aRealTime.month + 1, aRealTime.monthday ), 
        string.format ( "%02d:%02d:%02d", aRealTime.hour, aRealTime.minute, aRealTime.second ) 
end 
  
local sDate, sTime = GetCurrentDateAndTime( ) 
guiCreateLabel( 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 'Time: ' .. sTime .. ' Date ' .. sDate , true ) 

?

You have to use parent argument.

This is little example of what i meant to say in my last message :

[Kenix]

You should use parent argument. TAPL said before.

[LukisLT]

Thank you, i will try to do that, learning learning i hope one day i'll be good as you.

[Kenix]

No problem.

[TAPL]

Since you already have create the label at the gui, why you don't use guiSetText?

i think you already will need to update the time - date at the label

you will need to use event onClientRender or a timer to update the time - date in the label.

Never use onClientRender for this target. Use timer instead.

Think please before post advice.

Yes, i have this bug, once i start script, time doesn't tick, like on clock, to see the real time i must " restart script " or " reconncet " to update current time and date. so i will try to add render functions as you just sayd, and thanks for help or timer, so i wount need reconnect just to see current time

[LukisLT]

And one more question, i made bind key function, but there is some mistake, the panel pops up everytime i connect to server, how could i do, that the panel pops up only when i press the " bind key " ? that would be helpfull for me.

you need to use guiSetVisible after create the gui window.

Example:

theWindow = guiCreateWindow(100,200,50,50,"Example",false) 
guiSetVisible(theWindow,false)

Yes thanks, i did it and it's worked for me, but last my problem, the function i using, to create time and date labels, it's outside the gui, trying hard, but no succes, to put the text in the gui.

You have to use parent argument.

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GuiCreateLabel

parent: This is the parent that the gui label is attached to. If the relative argument is true, sizes and positioning will be made relative to this parent. If the relative argument is false, positioning will be the number of offset pixels from the parent's origin. If no parent is passed, the parent will become the screen - causing positioning and sizing according to screen positioning.

Well, gui is created, but i didn't made label in the gui for time & date, coz Kenix function makes the label, but the label is out of panel directories, just playing around, and trying to get the text in the panel gui... but no succes so far.

dude you already create the label look at your image !

wasn't you need to update the label? how you're doing it?

You need to use guiSetText and delete the label in Kenix function
