Progress Software - INFO: StartTime / EndTime

   Hello,

We are developing a TV grid and it looks nice but we can't get the hour in Progress. 

The code below is working and is able to modify the date and the hour but, if we do a StartTime display we can't get the hour, we can only get the date:

vhForat = phCalendar:ActiveView:HitTest().
vhForat = phCalendar:DataProvider:GetEvent(wiEvent).

vhForat:StartTime = string(vtDate, "99/99/99":U) + " ":U + string(pcHourIni, "XX:XX:XX":U).
vhForat:Endtime   = string(vtDate, "99/99/99":U) + " ":U + string(pcHourEnd, "XX:XX:XX":U).

And now if we do: 
Message vhForat:StartTime view-as alert-box.

We get only the date.

When we create each event, we add a property data with it's hour: 
vhForat:CustomProperties:Property("HourIni") = pcHourIni.

That works fine when the user is not interacting directly with the OCX but we still have problems because we can't know the new hour when a user modifies it interacting with the event. 

Anybody knows a way to get the StartTime and the Endtime entirely in Progress.

Thanks, 

LluisGerard

	We tried to get the date value using various Progress methods, like RAW, MEMPTR,... But nothing works, maybe we just need to call codejock for a new feature, to separate the date and the hour, something like StartTime.Hour and StartTime.Date.

	It will work with progress, there are many customers who use it with progress. Write to support and I'll attach a sample.

	Check this Old PowerBuilder project, be sure to read the read-me docs (2 files) - https://forum.codejock.com/uploads/DemoVersion/PowerBuilderCalendarDemo.rar delete old ocx from forms and insert new one and assign same names as before for simplicity.

	I can't open this project you attached me, but thanks. I can't understand why we can't get the hour, because it is not a VB date, is a character return, isn't ? We do: Message vhEvent:StartTime view-as alert-box. And we get: "06/28/2010".
