// Convert std::time_t to FILETIME (100-ns ticks since 1601-01-01)
int64_t to_filetime(std::time_t t)
{
    return (static_cast<int64_t>(t) + 11644473600LL) * 10000000LL;
}

int main()

    std::time_t now = std::time(nullptr);
    struct tm today = *std::localtime(&now);
    today.tm_hour = 16; today.tm_min = 0; today.tm_sec = 0;
    appointment.set_appointment_start_time(to_filetime(std::mktime(&today)));
    today.tm_hour = 17;
    appointment.set_appointment_end_time(to_filetime(std::mktime(&today)));
