Date/Time Dialog within Fusion API

[manfred_weinert]

I'm currently developing an add-in for which I need a dialog that allows the input of date and time information. For the date and time information, I use "IntegerSpinnerCommandInput" objects from the Fusion API to enter the day, month, year, as well as the hour, minute, and second. (See the attached screen dump "Screendump-Fusion-Date Time Dialog current style.png"). This looks a bit unusual, as the day, month, hour, minute, and second are displayed as single digits without leading zeros.

I have incorporated my desired display format into the attached screen dump "Screendump-Fusion-Date Time Dialog future style.png." I hope you also find the format more familiar.

This could be achieved by allowing the developer to specify an output format string in the "IntegerSpinnerCommandInput" object. If the programming language for the API objects were C++, the format string could be "%02d" for a sprintf function.

I have tried to solve the issue via a request to the Autodesk support, twice.

I got following answers by E-Mail:

May somebody else can help me.

May be there are other solutions using dialog features from third parties, but for any user it is always more convenient staying in one GUI per application, only.

Many thanks in advance.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kindest Regards
