select date

[cancancanopen]

Hi,

We have 'Select Date' control in the Front panel control pallete, when we click on that "Set time and Date" windows opens up,

Is there any way to call the "Set time and Date" window without using the Select date control.

Thanks and Regards

You could of course make your own window with a calendar but that would be a waste of time.

And you always need a control so that the user can call that window.

You also need a control to store the DateTime selected by the user.

The Time Stamp control does all that for you

What boders you in the Time Stamp control anyway?

Is it the box with the numerical DateTime information?

Then you could move that box outside the user interface and keep only the button with calendar & clock.

That's a nice button don't you think so? 

Is this an answer to your question?

If not, please specify how you want to pop up the "Set date and time" window and store the DateTime selected by the user.

The VI is called "picktime.vi" and it's found in the "<labview>\resource\dialog" directory.
