I am using VB6 with CJ 11.2.2

Here is the code:

Dim DateItem As PropertyGridItemDate
            Set DateItem = Category.AddChildItem(PropertyItemDate, "Due Date", "12/30/2000")
            DateItem.Format = "%m%d%Y"
            Debug.Print Month(CDate("2 / 2 / 2008"))
            DateItem.Month = Month(CDate("2 / 2 / 2008"))

with the debug line the Month returns 2 properly. However, the DateItem.Month value is returning -1 after it is assigned Month(CDate("2 / 2 / 2008")). It will also return -1 if I change the line to say DateItem.Month = 2

Any ideas? This is relatively urgent.

Hi,

Try this:

Set also the day to a value and you will see that all date values (day, month, year) will return the proper values.

Dim DateItem As PropertyGridItemDate
Set DateItem = Category.AddChildItem(PropertyItemDate, "Due Date", "12/30/2000")
DateItem.Format = "%m%d%Y"
Debug.Print Month(CDate("2 / 2 / 2008"))
DateItem.Month = Month(CDate("2 / 2 / 2008"))

add:

Debug.print DateItem.Month '' return -1

DateItem.Day = Day(CDate("2 / 2 / 2008"))
DateItem.Month = Month(CDate("2 / 2 / 2008"))
Debug.print DateItem.Day '' return "2"

Debug.print DateItem.Month '' return "2"

I noticed that if the day value (DateItem.Day) is not used again, the value for DateItem.Month will be -1.

And it doesn't matter if you use format mm/dd/yyyy or dd//mm/yyyy

It looks like a bug to me... Maybe someone from the support team can give you an explanation with this.

You are right. If I set the Month first, it doesn't work. If I set the Day first it does. Definitely sounds like a bug.

Thanks for the help!
