EConvertError

[Chuck Samuels]

Hi,
I am assigning a date time from an editbox to a TDateTime object (timex =
StrToDateTime(Edit4->Text)) and if the operator makes an error I want to
catch the error. Can someone tell me how to use Try and Catch to do this.
No matter what I do, the catch does not work and I get an EConvertError that
screws up the program.
Thanks
Chuck

I would suggest using a TDateTimePicker instead.

The same way you use try..catch for any other kind of exception:

try
{
timex = StrToDateTime(Edit4->Text);
}
catch(const EConvertError &)
{
// do something ...
}

Or:

try
{
timex = StrToDateTime(Edit4->Text);
}
catch(const Exception &)
{
// do something ...
}

Yes, it does.
