DTPICKER ... Can we show CLOCK instead of calender ?

I am really thankful to this forum for timely and accurate information...

I had developed an application where in user wnat the time in Hours (with am and pm e.g. 9 am, 1 pm , 4 pm etc)

I can customise the dtPicker that will show the Hours with am and pm with 'hh tt'

But when user clicks on DtPicker, its shows a clendar...can we show the click or any thing relevan to time ? and definitely not the calendar...which is irrelevant

with regards

If you set the format property of the DTPicker control to dtpTime, it will display the time in hh:mm:ss with AM or PM.

Also, where the format is set to dtpTime, the user doesn't get the calendar when clicking the control. It will scroll through the selected part of the time which by default is the hours.

You can also programmatically control what time is displayed by the control when it loads.

Is there any particular reason you don't want the minutes and seconds showing?

If you only need Hours with no minutes and don't want a calendar to drop down, why not just use two regular combo boxes?

In one, list the values 1 through 12 and in the other list AM and PM. Then you don't have the issue with the calendar appearing in the DTPicker.

Code:

Dim i As Integer
i = 1
Do While i <= 12
Dim strHR
    strHR = i & ":00"
    cboHrs.AddItem (strHR)
    i = i + 1
Loop
cboAMPM.AddItem ("AM")
cboAMPM.AddItem ("PM")
