ask user for datetime input

[Marco]

Hello

I'm trying to create a task where that should be scheduled to start a specific datetime. The first step is asking when. There is a input dialog with type is datetime, but can I extend the text input with a popup to select a date using a calendar and/or a time instead of manual typing a specific the datetime?

Thanks

Marco

The AutoTools plug-in has date and time dialogs. See attached screenshots.

You can split the result of the dialogs into two global variables:

        Get Date Time

        

     <Note the format used>

    A1: AutoTools Dialog 

        Dialog Type: Date And Time

        Pick Date: true

        Pick Time: true

        Format: MM-dd-yy HH:mm

        Date Format Separator: , 

        Timeout (Seconds): 60 

        

    A2: Variable Split 

        Name: %atdatetime1 

        Delete Base: Off 

        

    A3: Variable Set 

        Name: %Date 

        To: %atdatetime1(1) 

        Recurse Variables: Off 

        Do Maths: Off 

        Append: Off 

        Max Rounding Digits: 3 

        

    A4: Variable Set 

        Name: %Time 

        To: %atdatetime1(2) 

        Recurse Variables: Off 

        Do Maths: Off 

        Append: Off 

        Max Rounding Digits: 3 

        

    A5: Flash 

        Text: %Date

        %Time Long:On 

You are also going to need a third global that contains the current date. Note that the built-in %DATE can not be used in Variable Value state. 

    Profile: Set Date

        

        Restore: no

        

        Time: 12:00AM

        

    Enter: 

    A1: Variable Set 

        Name: %Today 

        To: %DATE 

        Recurse Variables: Off 

        Do Maths: Off 

        Append: Off 

        Max Rounding Digits: 3 

Now you can use these variables as your profile conditions. 

    Profile: Check Date Time

        

        Restore: no

        

        Time: From %Time Till %Time

        

        State: Variable Value  

        %Date eq %Today

        

    Enter: 

        <Put your task here>

    A1: Anchor
