TDBDateTimePicker and ISO8601...?

(1/1)

Sieben:
@Zoran - I thought it would be nice to have TDBDateTimePicker read and write ISO8601 date and time formats when connected to a ftString field, especially when working with a database like SQLite3 which doesn't offer a dedicated date/time data type but functions to operate on ISO string representations (cf here). This would integrate quite seamlessly with TDBDateTimePicker itself like this (plus conversion routines, of course):


--- Code: Pascal  [+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 = document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x = document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) { x[i].style.maxHeight='none'; x[i].style.height = Math.min(x[i].clientHeight+15,306)+'px'; x[i].style.resize = "vertical";}};} ---procedure TDBDateTimePicker.DataChange(Sender: TObject);var ADateTime: TDateTime; //rkmodbegin  if (FChangingCount = 0) then begin    Inc(FDataChangeCount);    try      if Assigned(FDataLink.Field) and not FDataLink.Field.IsNull then begin         if FISOMode and (FDataLink.Field.DataType = ftString) then //rkmod          ADateTime := ISOToDateTime(FDataLink.Field.AsString)        else          ADateTime := FDataLink.Field.AsDateTime;         // Using the SetTheDateJumpMinMax procedure, instead of property        SetDateTimeJumpMinMax(ADateTime); // assignment allows            // this control to display dates from database whose value falls            // outside of MinDate and MaxDate interval.            // Note that user still cannot enter such values in the control.      end else        DateTime := NullDate;     finally      Dec(FDataChangeCount);    end;  end;end; //... procedure TDBDateTimePicker.UpdateData(Sender: TObject);begin  if Assigned(FDataLink.Field) then begin    if DateIsNull then      FDataLink.Field.AsVariant := Null    else begin      if FISOMode and (FDataLink.Field.DataType = ftString) then //rkmod        FDataLink.Field.AsString := DateTimeToISO(DateTime)      else        FDataLink.Field.AsDateTime := DateTime;    end;  end;end; 
Or it might as well be done with a descendant, of course. However, to share it this would require to move some fields and procs of TDBDateTimePicker from private section to protected, namely FDataLink, FChangingCount, FDataChangeCount and of course procs DataChange and UpdateData which would also have to be declared as virtual. I'm including my working copy of said descendant here, maybe you might want to have a look...?

Edit - sorry, I thought I had included the attachment...

Zoran:
I have just seen this topic. I will take a look when I have time.
Thank you, Sieben.
