GUIset Date?

[PhilipG]

I am trying to set a pre selected date into a Date control but it doesn't work. Al the help file says is that i should look under guisetdata, but in that part it doesn't say anything I can understand.

My code:

GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "Datum:", 10, 115, $widthCell)
$datum = GUICtrlCreateDate("", 10, 130, 150, 20);Create the datefield

GUICtrlSetData ($datum, $pre);Update the date field

at first the script loads the control. That part works.

Then you can select a date and save it into a database. The value stored is the one returned by GUICtrlRead command.

The stored value could then be re opened (to view the saved date)

Thats what doesn't work.

The $pre variable is the exact value that is stored in the database.

What should i do?

Post the exact string you get from GuiCtrlRead() at the date control. The format of the output can be changed and is variable, but the input to set the date must always be "YYYY/MM/DD" format.

Is there any way to chose that as the output but stil maintain the long name in the date?

$hDateDue = GUICtrlGetHandle($DateDue)
_GUICtrlDTP_SetFormat($hDateDue, "dd MM yyyy")

$somevar = GUICtrlRead($DateDue);now read in set format which we can use to write to it as well


_GUICtrlDTP_SetFormat($hDateDue, "dd MMMMM yyyy");set back to whatever

I have some wierd results when i'm trying that code snippet...

The code:

#Include <GuiDateTimePicker.au3>
#include <DateTimeConstants.au3>

GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "Datum:", 10, 115, $widthCell)
$datum = GUICtrlCreateDate("", 10, 130, 150, 20)

_GUICtrlDTP_SetFormat($datum, "yyyy mm dd")
    _SQLite_Exec($dbn,"INSERT INTO uppdrag (datum) VALUES (GUICtrlRead ($datum));"); sparar i databasen

When I run this code it provides a wierd error message It says something like:

"_WinAPI_OpenProcess:Priviliged: Access is denied"

If I comment ;_GUICtrlDTP_SetFormat($datum, "yyyy mm dd")

Then It works... so what is the problem with the

_GUICtrlDTP_SetFormat($datum, "yyyy mm dd") function?

@MirnesC2: Read the topic before replying. The topic is use of a date picker control (as in the example script for GuiCtrlCreateDate). The OP is not interested in the current time/date.
