$DTS_TIMEFORMAT in 24-Hour time?


Recommended Posts

I'm using GUICtrlCreateDate to create a time box, but I'd like the time to display (and the user to interact with it) in 24 hour time. I'm pretty sure it has to do with using the style $DTS_TIMEFORMAT, but I haven't been able to find the correct method to make the control use 24 hour time. Can anyone assist me?

This is straight from the help file:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate ( "My GUI get date", 200,200,800,200)
$date = GUICtrlCreateDate ("1953/04/25", 10,10,185,20 )

; to select a specific default format
$DTM_SETFORMAT = 0x1005
$style = "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"; This sets the hours to 24 hour format.  Capitol HH's mean 24 hour format.
GuiCtrlSendMsg($date, $DTM_SETFORMAT, 0, $style)

GuiSetState()
While GuiGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
WEnd

MsgBox(0,"Time", GUICtrlRead($date))

Huh. Must be a newer version of the help file than I have then. The one bundled with my 3.2.0.1 SciTE bundle doesn't have that comment in it.

Thanks for the help though, even if it was laced with an RTFM implication. :lmao:

Bottom line is the question got answered, and that's all that matters. Thanks again. :ph34r:
