Missing Win32 controls - DateTimePicker, MonthCal

pcurtis — Sun, 02 Dec 2001 06:00:35 GMT

The DateTimePicker and MonthCal control types are still not supported by CVF6.6, at least via the easy way of setting up dialogs using the Resource Editor within DevStudio. I would very much appreciate any hints or code samples on how to implement these controls in a dialog, the "hard" way.

TIA, Paul Curtis

Well, here's a snippet from an actual app containing a dialog with two DateTimePickers IDC_SPIN_YEAR and IDC_SPIN_HOUR (one for date, one for time). I apologize for overhead, since it evolved from an older code which utilized edits and spins instead. When MODE.NE.MODE_ONLINE, they behave as pickers; otherwise, they are disabled and act like a clock, driven by timer. Helper functions are not necessary (they used to be far bigger); they update global iHgod, iHdan etc. dTime is double in format YYYYMMDD.hhmmss used for interchange between helpers.

Also, you have to initialize datetime classes somewhere at application start:

 
TYPE (T_INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX)::  iCCE 
iCCE%dwSize=8 
iCCE%dwICC=ICC_DATE_CLASSES 
iSt=InitCommonControlsEx(iCCE)
