    Property Value

    Type Description
    String

    The TimeSpan mask expression used in the editor.

    Remarks

    The editor allows users to edit days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds in the edit box or drop-down menu.

    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);
