ReplyCan't move Interval up from bottom 12AM
Posted by Legacy on 01/16/2003 12:00amOriginally posted by: Veeder
If you place a time interval which ends at the bottom (12AM), you will be unable to drag the bottom of the interval up and shorten its length.
Anyone look into how to fix this?

ReplyButton Click Problem
Posted by Legacy on 04/24/2002 12:00amOriginally posted by: Johnny Kim
I use BCGDateTime control and normal button control.
but When BCGDateTime control has focus, and I click the
button then the button is not clicked by one click.
only the button is focused and after then click once more
then that is clicked.
Did someone correct this problem , Send me new source please.
ReplyMore info from control?

Howdy,
I was wondering what would need to be done to change this control so that it saved the dates as an absolute date (month, day and year) which didn't carry over from month to month? Would this be difficult/impossible/easy?
Regards,

ReplyThe duration control hangs up when typed fast

The duration control hangs up ( the UI freezes ) when you type the digits for hours or minutes at a fast rate. When I try the same with the MS date time picker, it does not hang up. It would be nice if you could fix this problem.
ReplyHow to protect the Interval control from being changed?

I want to have a certain mode in my app when the user is not allowed to change or delete an interval. Do you have this feature implemented. If not - please recommend me a quick fix for the ActiveX...
ReplyThanks.
Is this freeware

I tried this code and it works wonderfully, but then I saw the same code from bcgsoft.com and now I am wondering, is this really freeware, that I can use in my app?
ReplyTimeInterval Overlap
Posted by Legacy on 01/16/2001 12:00amOriginally posted by: Steven
If the user sets the control from 12am-12am (all day), if you click just above the 12:00 am at the top, you can drag an overlapping interval over the current one. Same at the bottom.
