[SOLVED] Input - type time (format -> 00:00) MY_WM_COMMAND function?

[Xenobiologist]

Hi,

I have some input controls which I use to get a "time" value from the user.

Something like this: Started work at : 08:54

I've found this function :

EndFunc   ;==>MY_WM_COMMAND

Anybody who has done this before with other code? I think, I can write it on my own, but maybe someone has done it before.

The function needs to do the following:

• 24h format - If first digit is > 2, lets say 8 then write 08:
• user types in only the digits, the : is inserted automatically
• values from 00:00 to 23:59 are possible - 12:77 should work.
  • If the users types in 12:7 then the input should just show 12:

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi, Mega. Seems like a lot just to calculate start time. Are you looking for the end user to input their own, or looking to grab the current time and input it for them? Either way, this is a quick and dirty just using _NowTime() with 24-hour format; defaults to the current time, but the user could overwrite with their own. (I don't understand why you say 12:77 should work?)

#include <Date.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$aTime = StringSplit(_NowTime(4), ":")

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 300, 100)
GUISetFont(24, 600, Default, "Arial")
GUICtrlCreateLabel(":", 150, 10, 20, 30)
$startHour = GUICtrlCreateInput($aTime[1], 30, 10, 100, 40)
$startMin = GUICtrlCreateInput($aTime[2], 170, 10, 100, 40)

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
        EndSwitch
    WEnd

For any calculation you would just do something like this:

$startTime = GUICtrlRead($startHour) & ":" & GUICtrlRead($startMin)

Or am I oversimplifying what you're asking?

Not sure this will fit all the requirements but... who knows...

Thanks to both of you.

@JLogan3o13: it is more ... how to create a function which lets the user as easy as possible type in a time in a specific format.

Later on I use that for a little tool which lets you type in your start time at work and some other stuff and then reminds you when you can go home or when you reach the 10 hours.

In Germany it is not allowed to work more than 10 hours without a good reason.

@mikell: Pretty good.

Only one thing I found. When you have e.g. 08:54 you cannot go back before the colon. At 08: the backspace doesn't work anymore.

Then you need to doubleclick so that everything is selected.

This should do the trick 

Func _FormatInputNumber($iNumber)
   If _IsPressed("08") Then Return $iNumber
   If StringRegExp($iNumber, '^:|[^:\d]|:.*:') Then Return StringTrimRight($iNumber, 1) 
   ; etc

Thanks man, seems to work like a charm.

Should be added to scriplets thread.

Validating an input for getting a time value is something that is used by many scripts, I suppose.
