$DTM_SETFORMAT and GUICtrlSendMsg


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Sorry to post in the Help area as well.. I wondered if someone knows a workaround for this date format problem from the date combo, as I want to update my scripts to newer release version..

It works OK in the last beta (3.2.1.14) and full versions before that, but now gives silly results.

Changing from 0x1005 to 0x0150 is the same as using "0" or nearly anything else.

Any ideas?

Best, randall

;dateprob3.au3
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
local $GUI=GUICreate("Get date", 410, 490),$h_date = GUICtrlCreateDate(_NowCalcDate(), 5, 285, 180, 20)
GUISetState()
Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $h_date Then  MsgBox(0, $msg, "Formatted Date as '2007/05/23' etc.."&@LF&"$sCtrlReadDate="&_DisplayDate($h_date))
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
MsgBox(0, $msg, "Formatted Date as '2007/05/23' etc.."&@LF&"$sCtrlReadDate="&_DisplayDate($h_date))

Func _DisplayDate($h1_date);,$DispDate)
    local $DTM_SETFORMAT = 4101,$style1 = "yyyy/MM/dd",$style2 = "dddd, d MMMM yyyy";$DTM_SETFORMAT = 0x1005
    GUICtrlSendMsg($h1_date, $DTM_SETFORMAT, 0, $style1)
    $NewDate = GUICtrlRead($h1_date)
    GUICtrlSendMsg($h1_date, $DTM_SETFORMAT, 0, $style2)
    Return $NewDate
EndFunc   ;==>_DisplayDate

I'm having this problem too (so I guess consider this a bump), using the code:

$DateInput = GUICtrlCreateDate("",230,260,120,20)
GUICtrlSendMsg($DateInput, 0x1005, 0, "MM/dd/yyyy")
(nearly) as documented in example 3 of the help file. It worked fine through stable version 3.2.2.2, but sometime in the 3.2.3.x betas (I think I've got my version numbers right), it broke, and now under 3.2.4.8 when I set a date, it only shows the value before the first "/" - in this case, only the month number.

It doesn't matter if I set the date via GUICtrlSetData() or by clicking a date in the control...it refuses to show anything more than the numerical representation of the intended date's month! I can't find anything in the changelog that changed the behavior of the Date controls directly, so I'm wondering if this is an unintentional change. Can anyone give help or new code if there's a new way of setting the date control style that's not documented in the GUICtrlCreateDate() section of the help file?

Thanks

Edit: Guess I made a noobie mistake, based on randallc's post above, I searched for his recent posts, and found his other thread that people have been helping in. Please disregard this and I'll try their suggestions first, then ask for more information THERE if it doesn't work, like I should have before I posted here :)
