everseeker Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I thought this would work ControlSetText("Rate Calculator", "", "[CLASSNN:WindowsForms10.SysDateTimePick32.app.0.378734a1]", "06/30/2008") I was wrong Anyone have a clean way to do this? (Actually, I have a variable in my working code... but it is a simple string of the XX\YY\XXXX flavor... tried the above, it fails the same way... So if the above is made to work, I can revise ad extend..... Looked at Date.Au3.... nothing there helpful Everseeker

Looked at Date.Au3.... nothing there helpfulTo set the currently selected date/time in the datepicker try this function _GUICtrlDTP_SetSystemTime() in GuiDateTimePicker.au3 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots.

everseeker Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) To set the currently selected date/time in the datepicker try this function _GUICtrlDTP_SetSystemTime()in GuiDateTimePicker.au3OK, I am way confused now...1. _GUICtrlDTP_SetSystemTime() appears to be a way to set the value of a control, created by autoit, to the system time.How does that relate to my need to set the value of an EXTERNAL application's Date, to an arbatrary (NOT System time) date?2. What is/Where is GuiDateTimePicker.au3 (Didn't find it in the help ref...) Found it...Looking at the help file, I think I may be getting it...Can you use this to modify a control OTHER then the one you set up yourself?If so, could someone give me a hint (better then the one in the help file....)

evilertoaster Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Don't know if it's the actual issue, but you have a syntax error there- DateTimeControlSetup("Rate Calculator", "", "[CLASSNN:WindowsForms10.SysDateTimePick32.app.0.378734a1]", $a_Date) instead of DateTimeControlSetup("Rate Calculator", "", "[CLASSNN:WindowsForms10.SysDateTimePick32.app.0.378734a1], $a_Date)

ResNullius Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Along the lines of your first post, I've always had success with ControlFocus(("Rate Calculator", "", "[CLASSNN:WindowsForms10.SysDateTimePick32.app.0.378734a1]") ControlSend("Rate Calculator", "", "[CLASSNN:WindowsForms10.SysDateTimePick32.app.0.378734a1]", "06/30/2008") I've always had to focus the control before the send though.

ph0tix Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) The above code snippets from everseeker seem to contain a lot of garbage text to me.. is this a local issue or a known issue on the forum? Thanks all Edited January 25, 2011 by ph0tix
