Docusnap 11 - Configuration Manual

By adding a date/time picker to your data entry screen, you can provide a control that helps the user select a time or date to be saved in the database. This control is useful if users have to enter periods of validity, expiration dates and similar values.

Specific Properties of Date/Time Pickers

DisplayFormat

This property defines how the date will be represented in the control. Five different options are available. How the date or time will be displayed at runtime depends upon the locale settings in the control panel of the computer. The following options are available:

  • ShortDate: date in short format
  • LongDate: date in long format
  • Time: time in long format
  • DateTime: date in short format, time in long format
  • DateTimeShort: date and time in short format

MinDate

Specifies the earliest date the user will be able to enter or select for this control.
