How long has Creon been King of Thebes in 'Oedipus Rex' and 'Antigone'?

Part of a day is how long Creon is king of Thebes in "Oedipus Rex" and in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Creon is the closest and most eligible relative when there is a problem in the royal succession during the time of disgraced former Theban King Oedipus' children. For example, the events in "Oedipus Rex" occur during the last day in Oedipus' reign. Between Oedipus' abdication and the crowning of Oedipus' twin sons Eteocles and Polyneices, Creon leads. A similar situation happens the day after Eteocles and Polyneices kill each during the last battle in the civil war over the Theban royal succession. But in this case, Creon gets to rule until Eteocles' son Laodamas is old enough to be crowned.
