You can learn a great deal about the new TimePicker class with a fairly simple example program that I will lay out and zip through here (a full video on the topic is coming very soon).

To begin, you’ll want to download the latest Silverlight Toolkit, which you can easily do by clicking on Get Started in the left margin of my blog (or on the image to the left) and from our Get Started page, click on number 4, Download Silverlight Toolkit.

That will bring you to the Codeplex home of the Toolkit where you can download any or all of the controls, the source to the controls, and/or the samples for Silverlight 2 or 3. To get the latest controls, click on the menu item Releases, and then download either or both of the installers.

    Jesse,

    Cannot set FirstTP.PopupTimeSelectionMode = PopupTimeSelectionMode.AllowSecondsSelection; throws index out of range exception?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Gopi

    Hi Gopi,

    Thanks for reporting this issue. Currently in the March 2009 Preview of TimePicker control the PopupTimeSelectionMode has a bug where it can't be set in XAML. We've fixed this in an internal version and looking to the quickest way of giving you that update. For sure, it will be fixed in Silverlight Toolkit vNext release (6-8 week from the March 2009 release).

    In the meanwhile, please feel free to just set the PopupTimeSelectionMode on the loaded event.

    Sorry for the inconvenience, -- Justin Angel

    Justin,

    Thanks for the info, i just fig. that last night..!! Also just a feed-back, all the tool-kit controls are excellent, we have started doing our POC show... Thanks..

    There is also another bug, If the Popup is in the ListTimePicker mode we cannot select AllowSecondsSelection! but if we switch to RangeTimepicker mode then we can select this option.

    One other perf issue is in ComboBox control, binding it with > 4k data [means 4000 rows of say tickers] hits with performance. It is very slow after we click the dropdown on the combo...

    Features needed: If we can get the combobox with auto-complete, would be real nice addtion..

    Thanks,

    Gopi

    Hi Gopi,

    Thanks for the kind words.

    The ListTimePickerPopup is meant to help users select times from a pre-selected list of times. If there are to many options there (4,000) it won't be useful for users. For that reason, we won't be support selecting seconds in the ListTimePickerPopup. Additionally, if you've got the max 1,440 options in a ListTimePickerPopup I'm not seeing how a user would actually work with it.

    How do you see an AutoComplete feature working in a TimeUpDown textbox? Time can be anything and there's no good way to autocomplete it. We have the Time Intellisense window that in vNext will be clickable. That's as close as you could auto complete time text.

    For any further questions, please use the Silverlight.Net Silverlight Toolkit forum.

    Hi Justin,

    ok understood about seconds selection is listtimepick mode.

    also i was referring [perf issue of > 4k] to regular ComboBox complete with auto Complete feature and not the timepick control.

    ok will post all future questions on the forum.

    Thanks,

    Gopi
