Hi guys,

This is a very simple question for most of you. I was searching in web for the whole day and I'm not able to get the answer which I want.

Help me!

I have a DateTimePicker. Its Custom Format "hh:mm tt".

Now if someone changed the value in DateTimePicker e.g 12:33 AM, I need move the date to 12:35 AM.

On event LostFocus I'm able to retrieve all the information:
DateTimePicker.Value().Hour
DateTimePicker.Value().Min

and manipulate the values, whether to increase or decrease.

Now, how do I assinged back the modified values to DateTimePicker

DateTimePicker.Value() = ??????

Thanks,
Skunkhead :)

Solution 1

Would be simpler to handle DateTimePicker.ValueChanged, and then re-set the value if it does not match your filter criteria (this if-check is important to avoid an endless loop of event raising event raising event).

Solution 2

Almost.

VB

MyDateTimePicker.Value = DateTime.Now

The property Value (property, not function!) is if the type DateTime which has all the time arithmetic operation you need. Do arithmetic with DateTime, not DataTimePicker, read or write the value of Value at once.
