RepositoryItemTimeSpanEdit Class

The TimeEditStyle property specifies how users modify the time span:

• TimeEditStyle.SpinButtons — spin buttons that are placed vertically one under another.

  

  To enable a horizontal spin button layout, use the RepositoryItemBaseSpinEdit.SpinStyle property.

  

• TimeEditStyle.TouchUI — a touch drop-down panel with tiles.

  

  The drop-down panel supports both: the mouse and the keyboard.

The editor allows users to edit hours, minutes, and seconds in the edit box.

The actual format depends or the current culture settings (see System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.LongTimePattern). Use the RepositoryItemTextEdit.Mask property to customize the input mask. The editor supports mask specifiers for days ('d'), hours ('H'), minutes ('m'), seconds ('s'), and second fractions ('f'). See the examples below.

using DevExpress.XtraEditors.Mask;

timeSpanEdit1.Properties.Mask.MaskType = MaskType.DateTime;
timeSpanEdit1.Properties.EditMask = "d.HH.mm.ss";
// Enables editing milliseconds in the drop-down panel. 
timeSpanEdit1.Properties.AllowEditMilliseconds = true;
timeSpanEdit1.Properties.EditMask = "HH-mm-ss-fff";
timeSpanEdit1.Properties.EditMask = "d/HH/mm/ss/fff";

Imports DevExpress.XtraEditors.Mask

timeSpanEdit1.Properties.Mask.MaskType = MaskType.DateTime
timeSpanEdit1.Properties.EditMask = "d.HH.mm.ss" 
' Enables editing milliseconds in the drop-down panel. 
timeSpanEdit1.Properties.AllowEditMilliseconds = true 
timeSpanEdit1.Properties.EditMask = "HH-mm-ss-fff" 
timeSpanEdit1.Properties.EditMask = "d/HH/mm/ss/fff" 

The default drop-down panel allows users to edit days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

Tiles in the drop-down panel do not depend on the input mask. Use the following properties to show/hide specific tiles in the drop-down panel:

• AllowEditDays
• AllowEditHours
• AllowEditMinutes
• AllowEditSeconds
• AllowEditMilliseconds

The following properties allow you to specify extreme values that the user can enter in the text box and drop-down panel:

• MaxDays, MinDays
• MaxHours, MinHours
• MaxMinutes, MinMinutes
• MaxSeconds, MinSeconds
• MaxMilliseconds, MinMilliseconds
