This procedure shows how to calculate the difference between two CTime objects and get a CTimeSpan result.

To calculate elapsed time

1. Create two COleDateTime objects.

2. Set one of the COleDateTime objects to the current time.

3. Perform some time-consuming task.

4. Set the other COleDateTime object to the current time.

5. Take the difference between the two times.

      COleDateTime timeStart, timeEnd;
      timeStart = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime();
      // ... perform time-consuming task
      timeEnd = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime();
      COleDateTimeSpan spanElapsed = timeEnd - timeStart;
