Hello All,

When I use this editor directly in a DevExpress.XtraBars.Ribbon.RibbonForm the Designer generates this code:

            //
            // tsEditDuration
            //
            this.tsEditDuration.EditValue = System.TimeSpan.Parse("00:00:00");
            this.tsEditDuration.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(74, 50);
            this.tsEditDuration.MenuManager = this.ribbon;
            this.tsEditDuration.Name = "tsEditDuration";
            this.tsEditDuration.Properties.Buttons.AddRange(new DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.EditorButton[] {
            new DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.EditorButton(DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.ButtonPredefines.Combo)});
            this.tsEditDuration.Properties.DisplayFormat.FormatString = "HH:mm:ss";
            this.tsEditDuration.Properties.EditFormat.FormatString = "HH:mm:ss";
            this.tsEditDuration.Properties.Mask.EditMask = "HH:mm:ss";
            this.tsEditDuration.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(100, 20);
            this.tsEditDuration.TabIndex = 0;

So far everythings are fine.

But when I use this editor in a custom control derived from DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraUserControl the Designer generates this code:

            //
            // tsEditDuration
            //
            this.tsEditDuration.EditValue = System.TimeSpan.Parse("00:00:00");
            this.tsEditDuration.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(215, 110);
            this.tsEditDuration.Name = "tsEditDuration";
            this.tsEditDuration.Properties.Buttons.AddRange(new DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.EditorButton[] {
            new DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.EditorButton(DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.ButtonPredefines.Combo)});
            this.tsEditDuration.Properties.DisplayFormat.FormatString = "HH:mm:ss";
            this.tsEditDuration.Properties.EditFormat.FormatString = "HH:mm:ss";
            this.tsEditDuration.Properties.EditValueChangedFiringMode = DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.EditValueChangedFiringMode.Default;
            this.tsEditDuration.Properties.Mask.EditMask = "(0(\\R.([0-1]\\d|2[1-3])|\\d)|1(\\R.(0\\d|1[0-1])|\\d)|2\\d|3[0-5])\\R:[0-5]\\d\\R:[0-5]\\d";
            this.tsEditDuration.Properties.Mask.MaskType = DevExpress.XtraEditors.Mask.MaskType.RegEx;
            this.tsEditDuration.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(89, 20);
            this.tsEditDuration.TabIndex = 14;

In the second case I can't edit the value. The EditMask string is displayed instead of the actual value. As a workaround you need to edit the designer generated code.

Regards,
Arnaud.

I have tried to replicate the issue but have not noticed any issues. If you still experience the same problem, please create a separate ticket regarding it and describe the issue in greater detail. A sample project demonstrating the problem will be very helpful.

Hi,
How can I force the format to be like 00:00:00 instead of 0:00:00?
I tried changing the culture fed to the manager or the _Hxxx in FormatInfo but they seem to be the wrong place.
Thanks.
