Hi all

I'm struggling with what should be the simple task of using CXTDateTimeCtrl to edit a duration (delay) value. I want to be able to edit delays from 0s to 1day in HH:MM:SS format, but the format specifiers for the control don't even have SS option, and it seems to use GMT -> local time conversion so I'm getting garbage.

Is there an easier way?

hi,

use SetFormat method. See DTM_SETFORMAT in MSDN

yep, I read that.

Problem is CTime offsets everything to a GMT time, so my numbers are starting with my timezone, i.e. I enter 60 (being seconds), and I get back 01:01:00 in the control. I set the range from CTime(0) to CTime(24*60*60), but the actual range goes from 1am to 11am only.

What would be great would be a dedicated CDurationCtrl.

I looked at Mask edit as well, but it's not suited to time values, since all numerics are 0-9, which is no good for minutes, seconds etc.

Maybe should extend the mask edit format specifier to allow sub-ranges, i.e. instead of mask of 00:00:00, you could have

02d[0-24]:02d[0-59]:02d[0-59]

or some regex expression for validation. Otherwise I guess it's time to handle control feedback messages and do my own input validation.

Hello everybody,
I need to edit duration (= delay) too, is there any simple way to do that with the XTremeToolkit Pro?

Thank you for the reply

So I've found solution, the time has to be set using SYSTEMTIME structure - it is working properly for delay values without any conversion
