dtpicker and empty date

[Gale FORd]

I cannot get the control to start with an empty date.

dBegDate := ctod('')
REDEFINE DTPicker oBegDate VAR dBegDate ID 101 UPDATE OF oDlg

It always shows the checkbox checked when starting.
It is the same in the sample program "datetime.prg".

Gale,

Please review this topic:

Ok, I created a prg with the code included in that conversation. Linked it into the sample program datetime.prg.

Still did not work. When the control with the empty date ( 3rd control ) is initialized it has the check mark.
It will not start with it unchecked (blank).

It does not work right.
By the way, I had already tried that code in my program with no luck but I thought I would try it again with the sample program.

[Gale FORd]

I noticed that the code used in the conversation that you linked to refers to a function called setdatepic().

The code calls setdatepic() with 5 parameters, with the 5th one a 0 or 1 depending on whether the date is empty or not.
When I look at the source code for the setdatepic() function it does not make use of the 5th parameter.

Is there an update for this function or other code that I do not have access to that would allow the control to start with no date?

Gale,

here is the updated function in datepick.c

Code: Select all  Expand view

HB_FUNC( SETDATEPICK ) // ( hWnd, wYear, wMonth, wDay, GTD_NONE )
{
   SYSTEMTIME sysTime;

   sysTime.wYear         = _parni( 2 );
   sysTime.wMonth        = _parni( 3 );
   sysTime.wDay          = _parni( 4 );
   sysTime.wDayOfWeek    = 0;
   sysTime.wHour         = 0;
   sysTime.wMinute       = 0;
   sysTime.wSecond       = 0;
   sysTime.wMilliseconds = 0;

   SendMessage( ( HWND ) _parnl( 1 ), DTM_SETSYSTEMTIME, _parni(5),
                ( LPARAM ) &sysTime );
}

Gale,

This is the modfied Class TDTPicket Method SetDate() using the previous function change:

Code: Select all  Expand view

   METHOD SetDate( dDate, lEmpty ) INLINE SetDatePick( ::hWnd, Year( dDate ),;
                                  Month( dDate ), Day( dDate ),;
                                  If( lEmpty != nil .and. lEmpty, 1, 0 ) )


[Gale FORd]

I'm sorry but I cannot get this to work. I get errors trying to compile the c code provided.

Also, DTPicker does not call setdate() with the second parameter anywhere that I could see.

Does anybody have this working?

[Gale FORd]

I appreciate the code Stefan but I use xHarbour professional and I cannot get the code to compile without errors.

Gale

[Gale FORd]

Would someone send me a compiled datepick.c that include the changes above.

I will try to work out the rest.

Thanks,
Gale

Gale,

Try it this way. Please include this code in your main PRG:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#pragma BEGINDUMP

#include <hbapi.h>
#include <windows.h>

HB_FUNC( SETDATEPICK ) // ( hWnd, wYear, wMonth, wDay, GTD_NONE )
{
   SYSTEMTIME sysTime;

   sysTime.wYear         = hb_parni( 2 );
   sysTime.wMonth        = hb_parni( 3 );
   sysTime.wDay          = hb_parni( 4 );
   sysTime.wDayOfWeek  = 0;
   sysTime.wHour         = 0;
   sysTime.wMinute       = 0;
   sysTime.wSecond       = 0;
   sysTime.wMilliseconds = 0;

   SendMessage( ( HWND ) hb_parnl( 1 ), DTM_SETSYSTEMTIME, hb_parni(5),
                ( LPARAM ) &sysTime );
}

#pragma ENDDUMP


ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg ;
ON INIT oBegDate:SetDate( nil, .T. )

[Gale FORd]

Thanks Antonio I have it working now.
I had to add #include <commctrl.h>

I am a little embarrassed because I was placing the #pragma after the include statements. Now life is good. Here is the code I am using.

Datepick.prg

Code: Select all  Expand view

#pragma BEGINDUMP

#include <hbapi.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <commctrl.h>

HB_FUNC( SETDATEPICK ) // ( hWnd, wYear, wMonth, wDay, GTD_NONE )
{
   SYSTEMTIME sysTime;

   sysTime.wYear         = hb_parni( 2 );
   sysTime.wMonth        = hb_parni( 3 );
   sysTime.wDay          = hb_parni( 4 );
   sysTime.wDayOfWeek  = 0;
   sysTime.wHour         = 0;
   sysTime.wMinute       = 0;
   sysTime.wSecond       = 0;
   sysTime.wMilliseconds = 0;

   SendMessage( ( HWND ) hb_parnl( 1 ), DTM_SETSYSTEMTIME, hb_parni(5),
                ( LPARAM ) &sysTime );
}

#pragma ENDDUMP

Gale,

glad to know you got it working
