DateTimePicker up-down arrows behaviour

[itg-assistant]

Hi guys,

Please have a look at the attached project with a DateTimePicker configured for Time-only display. The up-down arrows is strange. To see what I mean take the following steps:

• place the mouse cursor in the minutes part

• press the up arrow - minutes are highlighted and go up by 1 - correct

• press again the  up arrow - whole time, hour and minutes get highlighted and minutes go up by 1

• press again the up arrow - hour and minutes remain highlighted and hour goes up by 1

• press again the up arrow - hour only remains highlighted and goes up by 1

• all next up arrows increase the hour part

So, I started trying to increase minutes and I end up increasing hours. Same thing happens for down arrow.

Even stranger, sometimes when I press the down arrow it goes up just for once and then down for the next times. This rings a bell, so it might be a regression.

Best,
Alex

Hi,

Unfortunately, the fix in 1.3.18, which I just checked, was rather radical ! I mean, the wrong behaviour I described is not there any more, but now the up/down arrows do nothing! Clicking on them does not affect the control value at all. You can check it with the original attached test project.

Best,
Alex

Hi Alex,

The fix was related to the Up/Down keyboard arrows (it also added PageUp and PageDown support) and broke the Up/Down button arrows. It is fixed and included in the current build which should be released tomorrow, also the Up/Down buttons are now repeat buttons - keeping them pressed repeats the click. Currently there is the development build 1.3.20 available for downloading (it still has this problem though).

Thanks!

a, ok, then this was a misunderstanding from start, I was referring to the buttons, not the keys. Anyway, if it’s fixed in the next release, all good! :) Alex
