By default, the C1TimeEditor control displays the time in a long format that includes seconds, but it can also display time in a shorter format or into a time span format. In this topic, you will learn how to change the time format in the designer, in XAML, and in code.

In the Designer

To change the time format, complete the following steps:

  1. Click the C1TimeEditor control once to select it.
  2. In the Properties window, click the Format drop-down arrow and select a mode from the list. For this example, select ShortTime.

In XAML

To change the time format, place Format="ShortTime" to the <my:C1TimeEditor> tag so that the markup resembles the following:

 <my:C1TimeEditor Format="ShortTime">

In Code

To change the time format, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the Window1.xaml.cs page.
  2. Import the following namespace:

    Visual Basic
    Copy Code
    Imports C1.WPF.DateTimeEditors
    

     

    C#
    Copy Code
    using C1.WPF.DateTimeEditors;
    

     

  3. Place the following code beneath the InitializeComponent() method:

    Visual Basic
    Copy Code
    C1TimeEditor1.Format = C1TimeEditorFormat.ShortTime
    

     

    C#
    Copy Code
    c1TimeEditor1.Format = C1TimeEditorFormat.ShortTime;
