Hi, I am using VS2015 Windows Forms Applications. With my form I have a masked textbox control, used to read date like "dd/MM/yyy" format. And when I set mask "##/##/####" the maskedtextbox control appear like " / / " . So that the user can enter date,month,year, and no need to enter "/". Similar way I wish to read time column in datagridview like "hh:mm". means...the ":" (Colan) has to display automatically and when the user enter the value, first 2 digit for hours and the second 2 digit for minutes. Is it possible?

Actually I tried by following codes, but no use...Is it possible to get help.. Thanks

C#

this->myDataGrid1->Columns[17]->DefaultCellStyle->Format = "##:##"

What I have tried:

I tried to mask the datagridview column by "##:##" format.

Solution 1

Try something like this:

dataGridView1.Columns["MyTime"].DefaultCellStyle.Format = "hh:mm";

Or use this trick for using a MaskedTextBox column: DataGridViewColumn Hosting MaskedTextBox[^]

Hi RickZeeland, I found your link will be useful. But is it possible to use that ExtendedControls.dll for other Languages? Thanks

Yes, in a .NET solution you can mix e.g. VB.NET and C# projects, so that should be no problem.
