Time input

[panchristo]

Hi all!

I'm trying to make a more firendly way of entering time-of-day data into two fields, let's call them TimeStart and TimeEnd.

What I'd like to have is an interface which:

1)allows typing the time in continuoous form, ommiting the separator,

2)allows for setting the time by using two buttons beside the time field (increase/decrease) for a specified increase/decrease time step

3)cycles between 00:00 and 23:59 (time-of-day strict data type)

Currently, I have a script for the increase/decrease buttons by using a Set Field script step attached that uses the following formula:

Time(hour(timestart);minute(timestart)+15;"00")

But I have the problem time doesn't cycle in the range 00:00-23:59 and keep increasing.

Do you have any ideas?

Re your script, try =

Mod ( TimeStart + 900 ; 86400 )

Re your script, try =

Mod ( TimeStart + 900 ; 86400 )

What does that do?

It adds 900 seconds to TimeStart, and rolls back to 0 when the result crosses midnight.

Ok but I can't understand where this calc should be put.

Also, what about subtracting 15' from the time?

In the Set Field[] script step.

Use minus instead of plus (how cool is that?).
