Time Entry control...

VC4.1 on NT 3.5.1 patch level 4.

Can anybody shed some light on the anatomy of the Time Data Entry control, like 
when we set system time for NT or even Windows 3.1.

It looks like a set of edit controls seperated by slashes, all tabbable, all 
controled by one spin control.

Any hints or sample code is appreciated.

That's exatcly what it is.  Maybe, some future version of Windows will make a 
time/date control available in some interesting, reusable form.  In the 
meantime, some companies make such controls available as OLE Controls.

It's actually fairly simple to do.

Set up your controls like this:

edit1 static("/") edit2 static("/") edit3 spinbutton

Give no borders to any of the above ctrls and then put a big static 
ctrl. around them to make it look like a single ctrl. to the user.

Now, when you create this window, don't autobuddy the spinctrl yet.  What you 
want to do in your dialog class is capture setfocus notify for each of the edit 
ctrls.  you then set the focused edit ctrl. as the buddy window for the spin 
ctrl. and set the range for the spin ctrl appropriatly.  Upon loosing focus to a
ctrl. other then one of these three edit ctrls or the spin button, disconnect 
the spin control from a buddy window.  If you want to automatically want to wrap
to the next month once the user spins past the last day, just capture the 
UDN_POSCHANING notitfication mesg. and check to see if you need to change the 
other edit ctrl. positions depending on what the current one is set to.  You 
will have to do this to change the number of days allowable anyways.

There is an example called picedit on the developer network cdrom.
