Function GetProcessTimes works on Windows NT only.
GetProcessTimes obtains timing information about a specified process: the creation time, exit time, kernel time and user time. All these are returned as FILETIME structures (a 64 bit count of 100-nanosecond units).
Creation time and exit time are expressed as time elapsed since midnight January 1, 1601 (UTC). Function FileTimeToSystemTime converts this to system time - which may also be UTC.
Function FileTimeToLocalFileTime can be called prior to FileTimeToSystemTime if you want the output to be displayed in local time.
Kernel time and user time are amounts of time: the FILETIME structures will contain the amount of 100 nanosecond units (ten million units is one second).
This example uses GetProcessTimes for the current (Progress) process. The exit time is null or random because the current process did not exit yet.
