bob smith :Mike, quick question, on the TimePicker control, I want it to default to blank when it first comes up. (so it will not display a date or time). I set it as follows:
myPicker.Hour = 0;myPicker.Minute = 0;
But it still shows a today’s current time. Am I missing something?
ThanksBob

You’re going to have to custom code that. I’ve posted the souirce at http://timepicker.codeplex.com so ou can grab it there.

IMHO there was just a little piece of code missing in the date property:

///
/// DateTime value. Defaults to current day if not set. Otherwise, maintains a value of the date assigned plus time shown.
///
[Browsable(true)]
public DateTime Date
{
get
{
if (ViewState["Date"] == null)
return DateTime.MinValue;
else
{
if (SelectedTimeFormat == TimeFormat.Twelve)
{
ViewState["Date"] = Convert.ToDateTime(ViewState["Date"]).ToShortDateString() + ” ” + Hour.ToString() + “:” + Minute.ToString() + “:” + Second.ToString() + ” ” + AmPm.ToString();
}
else
{
ViewState["Date"] = Convert.ToDateTime((Convert.ToDateTime(ViewState["Date"]).ToShortDateString() + ” ” + Hour.ToString() + “:” + Minute.ToString() + “:” + Second.ToString() + ” “), System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat);
}
return Convert.ToDateTime(ViewState["Date"]);
}
}
set
{
ViewState["Date"] = value;
SetTime(value);
}
}

maybe someone can benefit from

Your control is really nice, i’m not using it in my web application… you made life a bit simpler. thanks.

Thanks again!.

I was having the same problem as Frank (focus was not changing between multiple instances of timepickers), so I took a look at the source code on codeplex. I was able to get the focus to change by making a small change in the javascript function ensureFocus - just need to update the global variable lastFocusCtrl.

function ensureFocus(c)
{
var controlSetPrefix = c.id.replace(’_imgUp’, ”);
controlSetPrefix = controlSetPrefix.replace(’_imgDown’, ”);

if (lastFocusCtrl == null) // This should only happen once, max
{
lastFocusCtrl = document.getElementById(controlSetPrefix + ‘_txtHour’);
}
else
{
if (lastFocusCtrl.id.indexOf(controlSetPrefix) != 0)
{
var elem = document.getElementById(controlSetPrefix + ‘_txtHour’)
if (null != elem)
{
elem.focus();
lastFocusCtrl = elem;
}
}
}
}

Thanks again!
