TElXTree: midnight displays as blank

RaymondWK

ItemTree.Items.Item[0].Text := FormatDateTime('ddddd', d) + ' ' + '00:00:00' displays

"25/3/2013'

, and the column is centred, so it looks really bad.

The type of the column is Date & Time.

How can I ensure the time part is displayed and still be able to convert the cell to datetime using strtodatetime and still be able to sort on the column assuming date & time?

Thanks,

Raymond.

Hi,

I built a sample test with your code. It shows date and time, strtodatetime and sorting works ok. Am I missing something to reproduce your issue?

Observe the middle entry. It does not display the hours, minutes and seconds for midnight.

This is the prime issue.

For a solution to exist, the other, secondary criteria must also be satisfied.

I reproduce the time cut-off issue only when I enter and edit cell's date and time. After editing, 0:00:00 part is cut off.

This is a bug and is being fixed.

Do you see the middle entry with time part absent right when the tree is shown or after cell was edited?

I think you are mixing 2 separate issues.

This issue is about a time of midnight not displaying the time part.

As it turns out, it is a Microsoft Windows issue!

Windows doesn't display the time with a datetime string when the time is midnight.

To work around this I have left-justified the datetime fields.

If ElXTree could be made to display the full date time as

14/2/2013 23:56:01

14/2/2013 00:00:00

15/2/2013 00:00:01

that would be really good.

Hi Raymond, thank you for feedback.

I'll check out if we can add some flag that would allow to override system locale settings
