Thiselement with Time question
Aug 19th, 2008 at 3:44pm
Print Post Print Post  
I have a series of command buttons with the label set to 2000 2030 2100 2130 2200 etc

I am using the thiselement technique I often use to take the command buton label info and return that value to an element. In this case I have a element named bedtime bound to type time.

If I type 2000 in the element it converts properly to 8:00 however when I use the thiselement technique it ends up with the wrong time (see code below)

I also tried wrapping the thiselement in tonumber and totime but still no good. I then stepped through the process with
var Vwhat as int
Vwhat = thiselement
writeln(vwhat)
bedtime = @tonumber(vwhat)

It writeln the correct number, but when it got returned to the bedtime element it was interpreted wrong again.

Can you point out the errors of my way? Thanks



If  bedtime  = ""

Then
     {
           bedtime =  thiselement
           
           GotoTabPage(LE45, 12)            

     }

else
     
           If @Askuser("Berlin question 10 is set to  ", bq10,"Do you want to replace it with " + thiselement +"?")
Then
                 {      
           bedtime = thiselement
           
           GotoTabPage(LE45, 12)      
            
                 }

The programming below should return what you are after.

Code
Select All
var vWhat as String
     vWhat = ThisElement

covert = @ToTime(ThisElement)


You will also want to relabel your command buttons so 2000 is 20:00.

This is an interesting topic, so I'm curious.  Ben, what is vWhat used for in your programming?  And what is covert?

In my programming, vWhat is not actually used beyond holding the value of ThisElement. The element named 'covert' is a text element bound to a time field... and was meant to say 'convert'.
