Initialize The DateTimePicker To Display A Default Date?
Aug 19, 2011
I'm trying figure out the VB code necessay to initialize the DateTimePicker object at program startup.I've got this subroutine, which creates the datetimepicker:
Is there a way to remove default date for DateTimePicker? It defaults to today's date and I couldn't find a way to remove it. For example - when user pulls up a record and there is no date in the field - it shows today's date which is misleading. We could have the cases when the field is not filled in yet and user might think that it has today's date in it when it's actually Null. Basically I need for date fields to be blank initially. We also have the other date fields that might have dates in it but we'd need to remove the value completely. Again - DateTimePicker doesn't allow it. We tried to use masked field as well but run into the problem where existing values with single month/single day (like 1/1 for example) were converted wrong with MM/dd/yyyy mask.
I am using the sample datetimepicker code from the Microsoft web site in a databound datagridview. This works fine if I use the combobox dropdown button and select a date. Is there a way to use today's date by default and not specifically selecting it?
i have a problem on setting the default value of my date time picker. i have created this application
[code]...
and my problem is i want to set the default value of my DateTimePicker(dtpDate) depending on which date was clicked on the calendar in Main Form. i've been posting this program of mine this past few days now. i just really need to finish this for my upcoming thesis defense.
I have a combobox which contains a sample of names selected from a table.Currently the default name displayed in the box is the 1st name found in the table. What I would like to do is display the name of the person who is doing the selection as the default. The name is stored in a public variable 'PubName' and I do not want the user to be able to type into the combobox themselves.Is this possible?
I am developing with VS2010 VB.Net and a SQL '08 dbase. I have a DateTimePicker control that by default displays the current date. If you ignore the DTP control and accept what the default is and save the record, in the database table, the value for the date is 'NULL'. I delete the record out of the database and re-create the record in the UI, but this time, I click on the DTP control and actually click my mouse on the current date or any date and then save the entry and it saves to the database properly. I guess what I am after is if a user instantiates the UI form to perform data entry and accepts the current date in the DTP control without clicking on the control, the value is saved properly to the database.
I am traying to use the DateTimePicker to extract days diff from a date selected on DateTimePicker1 to a date selected on DateTimePicker2. I have no problem substracting the daydiff in numbers of days. The problem I have is that I need the DateTimePicker to tell me how many of those days are weekends (friday, saturday) and how many are weekdays.
I have alot of forms here who need 10 or more seconds to load when the method InitializeComponent() starts to run. It have a lot of pics for that is too slow to load. I need to do a loading screen to show while the initializeComponent() components is running.
I have a few date fields on a form. no matter what i've tried in the properties, the form still loads and there is a default date in there, how do you get rid of this?
I want to get the date value from datetime.now till the selected value from datetimepicker. Ex. date Today is 08/09/2011 selected date from datetimepicker is 02/08/2012
I want to show the dates between the 2 dates mentioned. For example I want to show the value of 09/09/2011-Firstmonth 10/09/2011-SecondMonth 11/09/2011-thirdMonth 12/09/2011-FourthMonth 01/09/2012-FifthMonth Until it reached the selected value from datetimpicker.
I have a date time picker where the dates available to be selected on it is affected by the choice made in a combo box above it. If the user selects "Express Air" in the combo box for example, the minimum date in the date time picker must be either Today or Tomorrow. Nothing before, nothing after. How do I go about this? I tried:
Private Sub DateTimeExpressAir() If cmbShipmentMethod.Text = "Express Air" Then DateTimePicker1.MinDate = DateTime.Today End If End Sub
If also possible how do I set the MAX date to like, tomorrow, or 6 days after today, etc? DateTimePicker1.MaxDate = ?? But no success. I am using Visual Basic 2008.
The problem I'm facing now is when I set my DateTimePicker format yyyy-MM-dd, when I put a date in that column, they will auto generate the time now.For example, i entered 2011-03-30 but they will save in database 2011-03-30 10:56:54 AM.Question here is:How can I do where i want it to be "2011-03-30 00:00:00" ?
My app uses about 14 date as the user progresses through and the dates are used to make a number of calculations. In the process of debug I set the dates in Properties so I would not have to enter them each time with all the other inputs to test the math and out put values.
Actually, I want to be able to select a date (example, 2/10/2010-) and it add it to the textbox, then select another date(example,3/28/2010) from the same datetimepicker and it appends it to the textbox.(It will be like this on the final click, 2/10/2010-3/28/2010 and save it to the Access database).
Im a beginner at visual basic. I did some codes refering to a form in which I need to calculate the differences between my my date of birth to another date. I did a statement which gives me the difference between those in the format of years, but I need to know how I can put the months and days example if my birthdate is 11/26/1991 and I want to calculte how many years, month and days has transcurred until today it would be like 20 years 3 months and 11 days.
i wish to concatenate date and time from 2 different datetimepicker after concatenated I want it to be save in sql database format which is yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
I'm doing half way and my query is like below.
Dim insertCmd As New SqlCommand(Sqlstr, connection) insertCmd.Parameters.Add("@School_Subject", Data.SqlDbType.NVarChar).Value = txtSchoolSubject.Text
When a user selects the datetimepicker, or types in the date in the text box, the calendar then highlights that date (for instance 02/02/2009) and puts the date in the text box.
If the user deletes the date from the textbox and then selects the drop down arrow again to show the calendar, the 02/02/2009 date is still highlighted. The user can select a different date or type in a date (including the highlighted one) - no problem. But if they wanted to select the same date they deleted, they cannot. No error message, it just leaves the text box blank.
Yes, it's very rare that that happens and they can highlight a different date, then go back in and highlight the 02/02/2009 date in a matter of two clicks but they want it fixed .
Not sure how I go about getting the calendar to clear the highlighted date once it has been deleted from the textbox?
