creating calendar vi

[tzviel]

I want to use a calendar that looks just like the one windows have when you click the clock on the screen.

Is there a ready VI in labview with a calendar?

Hi

There's a control name "Time Stamp Control". It includes a button which causes a calendar to appear if it is clicked.

Hi,
If you are using some older version of LV then make use of the ActiveX control of calender

I have used the time stamp control.

How can I disable the seconds (work only with hours and minutes)?,on the numeric display I just changed the precision but when you press the calendar button to choose a date it shows the clendar with the seconds.

On the calendar unfortunately you can't change the format.

Put an activex control on your front panel. Right click on the control and insert an activex object. My computer had a Microsoft Date&Time picker control and a Microsoft MonthView control.

looks great-this was just what I was looking for.

how can I extract from the ActiveX the date and time as a string??

Thanks

Wire the terminal (which is an activeX reference) to a property node. Select the property "value" and use the variant to data-function to convert it to a string.

Hope this helps.

There is also a labview function that takes a cluster of data and makes it a timestamp. Date/Time to Seconds is under the Time&Dialog section.
