TcxDBTimeEdit Class

Represents a data-aware editor which enables editing time values.

Declaration

TcxDBTimeEdit = class(
    TcxCustomTimeEdit
)

Remarks

A time editor allows editing time values of the TDateTime type. TDateTime represents a floating-point value. The fractional part of a TDateTime value identifies the time portion (fraction of a 24 hour day that has elapsed). TcxDBTimeEdit is similar to the TcxTimeEdit control except that it enables editing date-time dataset fields. A user can edit a time value either by typing it or by changing it with the help of spin buttons. Spin buttons allow incrementing and decrementing the selected time value portion: hours, minutes, seconds. The following image demonstrates a time edit painted in the native style:

To adjust settings specific to time editors, use the Properties object and this allows you to define the time format, value alignment, read-only status and many others. Use the Style, StyleDisabled, StyleFocused and StyleHot properties to manage the look & feel of an editor. Working with styles is discussed in the TcxCustomEditStyle class topic.

The DataBinding property defines a dataset connection. To connect a data-aware editor, you need to set the DataSource and DataField properties of the DataBinding object.
