TMSFMXEdit: using masks

Baecker_Gernot · February 13, 2015, 11:26am

Hello,

I would like to add a mask like 00:00:00 where only the zeros can we replaced by numbers (actually the user enters hours, minutes and seconds to input the duration of certain activities). is there any maskedit functionality in the edit field or a derivative.

I see that the IP Edit has a mask - can this be extended for custom masks?

Kind regards
Gernot

Hi,

A Date/Time edit mask is not supported in the TTMSFMXEdit, but you can take a look at the TTMSFMXDateTimeEdit component where this is possible.

Kind Regards,

Pieter

You can also simply use the TTimeEdit component?

Kind Regards,

TTimeEdit comes very close, but I would need a possibility to exclude the AM/PM. As mentioned before, I want to caption a duration in HH:MM:SS format. The HH section could also exceed 24

Kind regards

TTimeEdit has a Format property.

True - thanks, missed it. The only limitation is that I cannot have any process that runs longer than 23:59:59 (occurs rarely but it does)
