48 Hours clock

[Gilbert van Veen]

Hi,

I am using the RadDateTimePicker in TimePicker mode to enable the user to enter time.

I have two TimePickers in my grid.

1. Start Time
2. End Time

The start time can be 22:30 and the end time can be 01:00. Actually it would be nicer to use (in this case) a 48 hour clock.

The user should enter 25:00 instead of 01:00. This would make it a lot easier to read and explain to the customer, is this possible?

Another way to solve it is to add an extra checkbox next to the timepickerbutton which can be checked. By checking the box, you tell the system/user the time of the next day is ment.

Please advice in this matter.

Hi Gilbert,

Currently, RadTimePicker is designed to display values in the range 0 to 24, so it won't be able to display anything higher than 24:00.

I didn't actually understand the other way to solve this. Can you please give us more details so we could advise you on this?

The checkbox can be used (or another control) to "tell" the application that the entered time is for the previous day or current day. It is a little work around.

Which component can be used the best for entering amount/duration? In other words I need a control where I can enter, lets say, 100:30 (hundred hours and thirthy minutes?

Hello Gilbert,

I would suggest you to use the RadDateTimePicker in TimePicker input mode again with little modifications. Firstly set the DateTimeWatermarkContent property to something like "Enter duration" (depends on your scenario). After this set RadDateTimePicker DateTimeFormat to 24 hours mode so it will display 13:00 instead of 1:00. Here is sample code:

this.RadTimePicker.Culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
this.RadTimePicker.Culture.DateTimeFormat.ShortTimePattern = "HH:mm";

I hope this will help you.
