To get notified of either a DST change, or the user manually changing
the clock, the only way is to use a Carbon event:
EventTypeSpec eventType;
eventType.eventClass = kEventClassSystem;
eventType.eventKind = kEventSystemTimeDateChanged;
EventHandlerUPP eventHandlerUPP = Ne
wEventHandlerUPP(DateTimeChangeEventHandler);
EventHandlerRef eventHandlerRef = NULL;
(void)InstallApplicationEventHandler(
eventHandlerUPP, // inHandler
1, // inNumTypes
&eventType, // inList
self, // inUserData
&eventHandlerRef);
