Mask for DateTime field in PropertyGrid

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   All,

How can I create a mask to the DateTime field in the propertygrid such a way that, user can enter only in that format. For example, by default "dd/mm/yyyy" should be displayed in the DateTime field. When user key in numbers, the numbers should replace the respective palces in the field. Ofcourse, user can give input from DateTime picker also.

Please, suggest me by giving code snippets or sample source code. Thanks in advance.

	Hi, Here's is code from samples Dim DateItem As PropertyGridItemDate 'Adds a date item with an initial date of 14/02/2009 Set DateItem = Category.AddChildItem(PropertyItemDate, "DateItem", "14/02/2009") 'Sets date format to MM/DD/YYYY DateItem.Format = "%d/%m/%Y" 'Returns the currently set date formated with the mask MM/DD/YYYY Debug.Print "Currently set date (DD/MM/YYYY): " & DateItem.Value 'Returns the currently set date without a format mask Debug.Print "Unformated date (DDMMYYYY): " & DateItem.MaskedText 'Changes Day to the 13th DateItem.Day = 13 'Changes Month to February DateItem.Month = 2 'Changes the Year to 2009 DateItem.Year = 2009

	Hi Aaron, Thank you very much for your reply. But, Im working on C#, .NET and it is little bit difficult to understand as I have used Visual Basics long back. Can you please explain this in C# and .NET? It would be greatful if you share any source code with me. Thank you.
