DateTimeCtrl and format ddmmyyyy [message #9321] Thu, 26 April 2007 21:53 Go to next message

Hello,

I need a date from DateTimeCtrl in the format ddmmyyy, without "/". I tried

SetDateFormat("%3:02d%2:02d%1:4d"); // has been removed the '/'
date_field.SetData( date_field.GetData() );
SetDateScan("dmy");


But the background of the ctrl became red. I suspect it inherits some behaviour from the editctrl in which the number of characters in the ctrl should be 10 and not 8 as I want.
Is there a workaround?

Luigi

This is a bug/problem with Core function StrToDate. Specifically the problem is with the code:
		if(IsDigit(*s)) {
			char *q;
			n = strtoul(s, &q, 10);
			s = q;
		}

This normally reads the next number from the string s and stops when it encounters a non-digit char. When the date format doesn't include any non-digit characters it will just convert the whole string into a number, when the code that follows expects it to be a day, month or year number.

I can't see a workaround besides using non-digit characters as seperators. luzr?

Actually, there is a way around this problem. You need to write your own Convert class to handle your date format and then do something like:
typedef EditValue<Date, MyDateConvert> EditMyDate;


Getting the same pop-up calendar functionality as the DateTimeCtrl is more difficult and requires some unorthodox type-casting, but it is possible.
