WinForms TimeSpanEdit, DevExpress

Value format depends on the current culture settings (see LongTimePattern). Use the MaskSettings or EditMask property to customize the input mask. The editor supports mask specifiers for days (‘d’), hours (‘h’), minutes (‘m’), seconds (‘s’), and second fractions (‘f’). Drop-down menu sections correspond to the specified mask (if the input mask contains only days, the drop-down menu allows the user to change only days).

Note

The mask expression should be compatible with the TimeSpan format.

timeSpanEdit1.Properties.EditMask = "dd.hh.mm";
//Or
//using DevExpress.XtraEditors.Mask;
//var mask = timeSpanEdit1.Properties.MaskSettings.Configure<MaskSettings.TimeSpan>();
//mask.MaskExpression = "dd.hh.mm";

You can use MinValue and MaxValue properties to specify the range of possible values. The drop-down menu does not display values outside the range.

timeSpanEdit1.Properties.MinValue = new TimeSpan(0, 1, 0, 0);
timeSpanEdit1.Properties.MaxValue = new TimeSpan(2, 2, 5, 59);
