Problem with DatePicker

M_Menon

Hi Friends I am not able to get the Selected Date from the DatePicker. It is showing me the Current DateTime always. I am new with VC++. //Initializing , m_Date( CTime::GetCurrentTime()) DDX_DateTimeCtrl(pDX, IDC_DATE, m_Date); And then i am Changing the Date in DatePicker, and on Button Click Event, i have the below instruction, where i need the Selected Date but instead it is showing me CurrentDateTime() SELECT Polhsh_ID FROM Polhsh WHERE Installation_ID = %d AND Pelaths_ID = %d AND ActionType = '%s'AND Hmeromhnia= #%s# "), Installation_ID, m_Promhtheytes.GetItemData( m_Promhtheytes.GetCurSel()), ActionType, m_Date.Format( _T("%Y/%m/%d")) ); But i am always getting the Current DateTime. I know it must be something simple, But i am completely new with VC++. I hope if anybody gets time, give me some help. Thanks

Cheers Menon

See UpdateData()[^] Also if your beginning you should be using a book or tutorials. If they have not covered UpdateData then they aren't any good so find another.

Hi mike Thank you. Well i generally work on C#.NET web applications. And there is some modifications to be done on project made by someone else. After whole day coding in C#.NET i make mistakes while writing VC++. And again, thanks

This works fine for me:

void CMyDlg::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
CDialog::DoDataExchange(pDX);
//{{AFX_DATA_MAP(CMyDlg)
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_DATETIMEPICKER1, m_date); // m_date is CDateTimeCtrl object
//}}AFX_DATA_MAP
}

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyDlg, CDialog)
//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CDbcDlg)
ON_NOTIFY(DTN_DATETIMECHANGE, IDC_DATETIMEPICKER1, OnChangeDateTimePicker)
//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

void CMyDlg::OnChangeDateTimePicker(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
COleDateTime t;
m_date.GetTime(t);
TRACE("%s\n", t.Format("%Y/%m/%d"));

\*pResult = 0;

}

Note there is no UpdateData() call.

It's not necessary when you use control variables (e.g., CDateTimeCtrl instead of CTime).
