Hi;

First of all I want to tell you that I'm very satisfied with the software packages provided by your company. Since the earliest days of the Codejock Toolkit(s) I'm using them in all software projects I'm working on - with best customer feedback!

One question/wish/feature request regarding the PropertyGrid control:

Will the grid be enhanced by more property grid item types in the near future?

I'm missing such types as

datetime / timestamp items
float / double items
images / bitmaps with combo support
...

If so, when will these features be available?

Best regards

Martin

I see this post is fairly old but was never replied to...I am in need of a time control item for the property grid as well. Is there any exmple code available for a custom item (such as the sample spin control custom item code) for inserting a time control?

TIA,

-Billy

Just got the new 8.70 release, thanks for all the new features, including the Date grid item, but like billyb I'm in need of a Time control, not just a Date control. CXTPPropertyGridItemDate didn't make it in to the help file, but I found it in XTPPropertyGridItemExt.cpp/.h,
however, unless I'm missing how to configure it, it provides a Date picker (calendar) only -- no Time.

I need a grid item time picker, such as provided by CDateTimeCtrl using the DTS_TIMEFORMAT option. I've tried to create a custom item using CCustomItemSpin as an example, but can't get it to work right since the underlying in place edit window gets in the way, and other issues.

Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Michael

Hi all,

I also need this functionality as nicely described by Michael.

Is it possible to somehow get a pointer to the control so we can create a custom grid item, derived from CXTPPropertyGridItemDate and additionally we then set the DTS_TIMEFORMAT flag so the control gets created as a timepicker and not a datepicker? Obviously there's no need to show the InplaceMonthCal in that case. Just the timecontrol.

If this is not possible would you please consider implementing this in the next version of the toolkit or provide us with some pointers on how to do this ourselves?

Thanks in advance,
Martin

You can create simple CXTPPropertyGridItem and set mask

pItem->SetMask(_T("00:00"), _T("__:__"));

Was a "Time/Date custom grid item" ever added?
