DateTimePicker control
05 Feb 2025, 21:05


Hi.

Currently there is not DateTimePicker control for plugins.

I tried to see if I can add a DateTimePicker inside the plugin form but when using AddChild it requires the control to be a child of ControlBase and as such it can't.

Also, CustomControl does not support using WinForms or WPF components inside it. As such, I can't create a DateTimePicker control by adding it inside a custom control and I will have to recreate the wheel (write a DateTimePicker from scratch).

The only way to currently do it is from a cAlgo.Button, open a WinForms or WPF form (in its onclick event) and have the DateTimePicker control there and somehow exchange the values back. This is really crazy as I will have to do the tricks with the STAThread, etc.

Any other advice?

 

Thanks
