DTP not updating correctly?

[ale1981]

I am having a problem with updating a DTP control with the correct date once the script has ran, can somebody try this code for me;

Turn your PC date back one day, run the code below, turn your PC date back to today and click the Update button, shouldn't the DTP update to the current date (@MDAY) or am I doing this wrong?

The @MDAY is correct when written to the console.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiDateTimePicker.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Global $g_hDTP

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $hGUI

    ; Create GUI
    $hGUI = GUICreate("(UDF Created) DateTimePick Create", 400, 300)
    $g_hDTP = _GUICtrlDTP_Create($hGUI, 2, 6, 190)
    $btnTest = GUICtrlCreateButton( "Update", 200, 6, 100, 20 )

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    ; Loop until the user exits.
    ; Loop until the user exits.
    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
            Case $btnTest
                btnTest()
        EndSwitch
    WEnd

EndFunc

Func btnTest()
    Local $sDate[7] = [ False, @YEAR, @MON, @MDAY, 0, 0, 0 ]
    _GUICtrlDTP_SetSystemTime( GUICtrlGetHandle($g_hDTP), $sDate )
    ConsoleWrite( "MDAY: " & @MDAY & @CRLF )

EndFunc

_GUICtrlDTP_SetSystemTime( $g_hDTP, $sDate )

not

_GUICtrlDTP_SetSystemTime( GUICtrlGetHandle($g_hDTP), $sDate )

when creating DTP with _GUICtrlDTP_Create it already returned a handle:

Success: the handle to the DTP control.

 

 

You cant get handle of a handle with GUICtrlGetHandle() , you need control ID in GUICtrlGetHandle() to get a handle , aldo you already have handle that you need, dont you?

Thanks, this was correct in my example, but I am even more embarrassed to say why my actual script wasn't working!

I had set the range of the DTP in my GUI code to the current date so no date could be selected past today, now when the next day arrived it wasn't updating because the range was still set to yesterday!

I have now changed that so whenever I change the DTP it updates the range to the current day!  I thought I would reply to help others but hopefully nobody else is stupid enough to make the same mistake as me!
