Update Value Boxes based on Time/Date

Forum / Questions & Answers

I have an application that will show current line conditions/settings and whether they are running in spec. We want to add a way to pick a time/date so we can see all those line conditions on a certain day/app on the app. Is there an easy way to do this, or would that require scripting with the date time picker?

    Hi ,

    This script will update a ValueBox using the DateTime Picker.

            public void DateTimePicker1_OnDateTimeChange(object sender, DateTime dateTime)
            {
                string startTime = dateTime.ToString("o");
                ValueBox1.AggregateStartTime = startTime;
            }

       There is a lot of Value Boxes on the specific app page, is there a way to edit the script so it updates every value box in case we decide we add more in the future, or will I have to make a line in the script for every value box?

      With a little bit of help from Chat GPT and a developer, I think I got something that will work for you. Try this and see:

      public void DateTimePicker1_OnDateTimeChange(object sender, DateTime dateTime)
{
    string startTime = dateTime.ToString("o");

    // Iterate through all controls on the screen
    foreach (var control in Screen.ScreenControls)
    {
        // Check if the control is a ValueBox
        if (control is ControlValueBox valueBox)
        {
            valueBox.AggregateStartTime = startTime;
        }
    }
}
