Your kidding right?

Your kidding right?

Hey, that's my line...

[c.haslam]

No, I'm not kidding. It seems that $DTS_SHORTDATECENTURYFORMAT is not in any of the included files, but it shown in the help for _GUICtrlDTP_Create.

And how do I disable the DTP control. (I realize that $inpDate is a handle.)

Considering your example shows no #include file what so ever... guess we are left to assume you've either "A" lost your mind, or "B" think by leaving it blank it will just find the right #include such as:

#Include <GuiDateTimePicker.au3>

Edit:

Just for clarification, I'm a bit behind the times, they may have moved the Beta include from where I have it in version 3.2.9.4 (Yeah I know, just to lazy to update).

Sorry about that. I copied and pasted from SciTe. Somehow the names of the included files went missing. I try again (and manually enter filenames):

CODE

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <GuiDateTimePicker.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Global $dlgXCopy = GUICreate("XCopy", 588, 705, -1,-1) ; centred

Global $hndInpDate = _GUICtrlDTP_Create($dlgXCopy,144, 232,120,25,$DTS_SHORTDATECENTURYFORMAT)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

Switch $nMsg

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

ExitLoop

EndSwitch

WEnd

GUIDelete()

Off-topic: I used Insert Codebox. SHould I be using something else to put code into a topic?

You can use [autoit ]insert code[ /autoit](without space) or the code brackets you used for the code.

The value is 0xC for DTS_SHORTDATECENTURYFORMAT

As I said, I have an old beta... mine doesn't have a value and no reference to it in GUI Styles, just a reference to the value on line 61 of the suggested #include... I don't know if it's in either of the 2 other releases or not.

I did read that Comctl32.dll must be older than 5.8 for this style, so if it was omitted for any reason, that is why I would assume.

[GaryFrost]

Looks like either a type-o in the help or the include, I'll have to figure it out.

What is declared in the include is $DTS_SHORTDATECENTFORMAT

[c.haslam]

Thanks.

How do I disable the DTP control?

I clarify: how do I disable a _GUICtrlDTP_Create() control? (I need locale independence.)

local independence should be the same for built-in and UDF created control.

[c.haslam]

Thanks. I had forgotten about WinSetState().

On my PC, both GUICtrlCreateDate() and _GUICtrlDTP_Create() show the date in yyyy-mm-dd format.

I see that _GUICtrlDTP_GetSystemTime(GUICtrlGetHandle(...)) can be used with GUICtrlCreateDate().
