Delphi 6 – Get Date From and Date To With Number of Days

So far I have recreated this code far more in the 16 years that I have been using Delphi. Just wanted to log it here so that when I need it again, it will be here.

Hope it can also help other people

Enjoy

procedure TfrmPassword.BitBtn1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
vWeekDay : String;
begin
//DateUtils
//get the first and last day
if (ALMONTH.VALUE <= 11) then
begin
ALFROM.VALUE := StrToDate( ALMONTH.Text + ‘/01/’ + ALYEAR.Text );
ALTO.VALUE := StrToDate( IntToStr(ALMONTH.VALUE + 1) + ‘/01/’ + ALYEAR.Text ) – 1;
end
else
begin
ALFROM.VALUE := StrToDate( ’12/01/’ + ALYEAR.Text );
ALTO.VALUE := StrToDate( ’01/01/’ + inttostr(ALYEAR.Value + 1) ) – 1;
end;
//loop the number of days
ALDAYS.VALUE := DaysBetween(ALTO.VALUE, ALFROM.VALUE) + 1;
ALDATE.VALUE := ALFROM.VALUE;
ALSUN.VALUE := 0;
ALTOTAL.Value := 0;
while (ALDATE.Value <= ALTO.Value) do
begin
vWeekDay := LongDayNames[DayOfWeek(ALDATE.Value)]; if (vWeekDay = 'Sunday') then ALSUN.VALUE := ALSUN.VALUE + 1 else ALTOTAL.Value := ALTOTAL.Value + 1; ALDATE.Value := ALDATE.Value + 1;
end;
end;
