CDateTimeCtrl in MFC - How to Use?
-
I have two DateTime picker Controls in my dialog: (1) One is for collecting the Users selected date(style is: :spin Control) the other control is (2) simply collects the time the User selects. In (1) which selection do you select in the Property Page for the control, ie, DTN_DATETIMECHANGED, etc. And once you have made that selection what is the code (in MFC) for retrieving the data? In (2) which selection do you select in the Property Page for the control, ie, DTN_DATETIMECHANGED, etc. And once you have made that selection what is the code (in MFC) for retrieving the data? I want to insure the format recieved is hh:mm (no seconds).I need sample code for each control: (1) and (2). I need working examples; if you do not have such, don't bother responding, PLEASE!

Use the
GetTime()method."Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw later in life what you have deposited along the way." - Unknown

David, the first (1) picker has an assigned varable of m_cDate and the second (2) has an assigned varable of m_cTime. if I use CString str = m_cDate.GetTime() will it return a str with the value in the picker? and should this value be received in the DTN_DATETIMECHANGED notification function or what function should I select in the PropertyPage for the picker? I don't know, that's why I'm asking?

No, it "returns" a
SYSTEMTIMEpointer, aCOleDateTimeobject, or aCTimeobject."Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw later in life what you have deposited along the way." - Unknown

Did you look at any of the three objects I referenced? Use one of those along with
CString::Format()."Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw later in life what you have deposited along the way." - Unknown

If you are talking about this: "No, it "returns" a SYSTEMTIME pointer, a COleDateTime object, or a CTime object." I still don't understand how what the User selects will be relayed to the instance of one of these " "returns" a SYSTEMTIME pointer, a COleDateTime object, or a CTime object." when You initialize the m_cDatew or m_cTime varables with one of those; how will it also retrieve the User's response? Wouldn't you receive back the same initialization you inputed to the varables?

By using the
GetTime()method. It comes in three different flavors depending on what type of object you want in return."Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw later in life what you have deposited along the way." - Unknown
