DTPICKER and empty Dates

[Horizon]

Hi,

I have looked the TestDtp.prg and DateTime.prg in samples directory. I have searched in forum. I have found some solution, but I could not found the found that I searched. (I don't want checkbox)

My Problem: I have empty date fields. I want to use DTPICKER (or something else similiar). When I open the dialogs, DTPICKER converts and says my empty field to Today Date.(Date()). It does not change the my value, but it confuses the my customers mind.

Is it possible to not to say if the var of date is empty?

Thanks,

Hakan,

add DTS_SHOWNONE to the style of the control

example in .rc file:

Code: Select all  Expand view

CONTROL "", 202, "SysDateTimePick32", DTS_SHOWNONE|WS_TABSTOP, 86, 82, 62, 12

Thanks Stefan,

I don't use resource editor. Is it possible to write it directly in application.

Hi,

I have found How to use it, but enabled the checkbox. I don't want to see the checkbox.

I think This problem is related the "SysDateTimePick32". I think we should use normal masked editbox with user defined function that is mentioned before messages in this thread.

Hakan,

Defining it from source you can write

Code: Select all  Expand view

@x,y DTPICKER oDate VAR dDate ....
oDate:nStyle := nOr (DTS_SHOWNONE,oDate:nStyle)

The checkbox is unchecked, if dDate is empty.

I think the best is add a calendar browse to GET / BTNGET action clause.
The datepicker class works not well as GET class.
