Hi,

I'm using the DropTime control for entering time/date. I have set up the environment as follows.

SetDateScan("ymd");
SetDateFormat("%1:04d-%2:02d-%3:02d");
SetDateFilter("\a -.,/");

The date set in code or if selected from the calendar is correctly visualized e.g. for the current time as: "2008-12-15 16:20:55".

Now I'm trying to type in the desired date into the DropTime control, but it is impossible to feed the '-' character (hyphen/dash/minus/whatever) into the control. It seems, only . : and space work correctly as delimiters. I can't seem to find where the characters get filtered out. Help, anybody?

Hello, Tom.
You can see ConvertTime in the "Core/Convert.cpp":

int ConvertTime::Filter(int chr) const
{
	if(IsDigit(chr) || chr == ' ' || chr == '.' || chr == ':')
		return chr;
	if(chr == ',')
		return '.';
	return 0;
}

DropTime using it in the EditTime:

typedef EditMinMax<Time, ConvertTime> EditTime;

DropTime::DropTime() : DateTimeCtrl<EditTime>(CalendarClock::MODE_TIME) {}
