Testimonials
"When looking for a Property Editor for MFC, I've evaluated a few, and for my application, VisualHint was a clear choice, and now, after more than a year using it, it did more than fulfil the expectations and hopes I had. The support is amazing for a one man show. Nicolas Cadilhac patiently answered all my questions about inner structure, why he did things the way he did, and if the modifications I wanted to do were feasible. "

A new MonthCalendar for the DateTimePicker and the PropertyGrid
There was a miss in the DateTimePicker. The editor was able to take any CultureInfo to localize the displayed strings but the popup calendar was not, simply because SFPE was still using the Microsoft MonthCalendar which accepts only the culture of the thread. It had to be fixed so I decided to write my own calendar.

A suffix for the day of the month in the DateTimePicker
The TimeSpanEditor was able to do it but not the DateTimePicker due to the way DateTime.Parse works. I have changed that and the DateTimePicker is now able to show a different suffix depending on the day of the month. Here is an animated screenshot:

A TimeSpan editor for .Net
It seems there is no TimeSpan editor for .Net. Can you believe it? So when a customer asked me if it was possible to make one with Smart FieldPackEditor.Net, I realized I could fill a gap with a full featured duration editor, based on the flexibility of SFPE. And this is what is coming in version 1.2.

Coming back on the scene
I know, VisualHint’s blog has been quiet for some time now, simply because internal activity has increased and the next version of SPG and SFPE are in the starting blocks. In the next days/weeks, you will see again that a lot is actually happening under the hood. Here are the next events at VisualHint:

Two values in a single DateTimePicker
To set two different dates in an application, e.g. a starting time and an ending time, you need two labels and two editors (as far as times are concerned) as showcased in this Outlook screenshot:
SFPE can reduce the space used inside a single editor and the result would look something like this:
Here is how it's done:
