DickG Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I've searched everywhere for a control to create a Time control. I only see a GUICtrlCreateDate control. Is there something for a time control where it lets you pick a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted August 24, 2016 Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2016 DixkG, Example 3 on the GUICtrlCreateDate page of the Help file shows how to use GUICtrlSendMsg to send a $DTM_SETFORMATW style to a date control - that allows you to use whatever format you wish for the display, like this: #include <DateTimeConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> Example() Func Example() GUICreate("My GUI get date", 200, 200, 800, 200) Local $idDate = GUICtrlCreateDate("", 10, 10, 185, 20) ; to select a specific default format Local $sStyle = "HH:mm" ; Just display hours and minutes <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< GUICtrlSendMsg($idDate, $DTM_SETFORMATW, 0, $sStyle) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; Loop until the user exits. While GUIGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE WEnd MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Time", GUICtrlRead($idDate)) EndFunc ;==>Example M23 robertocm and Skysnake 2 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoBert Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I suggest to change line 9 of @Melba23's script to: Local $idDate = GUICtrlCreateDate("", 20, 20, 100, 20, $DTS_TIMEFORMAT) with this change instead of a 'calendar popup button' a 'up down control' appears at the right of the date-control.

DickG Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Thanks much, Melba and Autobert. That got me started. I managed to figure out how to create and set the time control after much testing, starting with your suggestions. I need to read the time from an INI, then set the Time control. The INI stores the time like this: "7:15 PM" or "11:30 AM". So I had to first look for "AM" or "PM" in the string, parse that out, split the string, then add 12 if it was PM. Like this: If StringInStr($Time, "PM") Then $Time = StringReplace($Time, " PM", "") $Time_split = StringSplit($Time, ":") $Time = $Time_split[1] + 12 & ":" & $Time_split[2] Else $Time = StringReplace($Time, " AM", "") $Time_split = StringSplit($Time, ":") $Time = $Time_split[1] & ":" & $Time_split[2] EndIf $Time_val = GUICtrlCreateDate($Time, $Left, $Top, $Width, $Height, $DTS_TIMEFORMAT) GUICtrlSendMsg($Time_val, $DTM_SETFORMATW, 0, $Style_time) I use $Style_time ="h:mm tt" to show a 12-hr clock with AM or PM appended. When I want to create the control to show the current time, I use "" instead of $Time when creating the control. But I found that I MUST create the control AFTER I display the GUI that will contain it. I have no idea why. Maybe this will help others on how to set a Time control from an external value.
