Datetimepicker

[Allen_Arissa]

Hello,
I am trying to use the new DateTime picker. It displays the correct date when i choose a date but when I try to save the value to a text field with the selecteddate, i get a NIL error. what is the syntax to copy just the date to a string?

There’s an issue with the SelectedDate property. You should use the DateChanged event and capture the value there.

You can use the search function in the forum

New DateTimePicker at Xojo2020r2

Hi, recently downloaded XOJO2020r2, I want to test the new DateTimePicker in desktop mode. I have the next code in a button object: Var myDate As DateTime myDate = DTP1.SelectedDate //DTP1 DateTimePicker Object Name MessageBox(myDate.ToString) But it always shows today’s date, what am I doing wrong?

[Michael_Dosa]

Can you try something like this:

Var DT As DateTime
Var DTStr As String

DT = DateTimePicker1.SelectedDate
DTStr = DT.Day.ToString + " " + Month(DT.Month) + " " + DT.Year.ToString

Month is a function.

Hi @Allen_Arissa,

This bug has been fixed and will be available in a next release. Please, see case: https://xojo.com/issue/62880

So, if I’m understanding this correctly, the only way to get the date currently is to require the user to manually select a date from the control, triggering its DateChanged event? Is this correct?

I hope they fix this soon, as the default (which is “today”) will still be a popular (and needed) option.

Then it is corrected in 2020r2.1. I’m waiting my wife and her PC windows to test.
