FormatPattern Property (DateTimeUpDown)

Gets or sets the DateTimeFormatPattern that will be used to display the DateTime value.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property FormatPattern As DateTimeFormatPattern

'Usage
 
Dim instance As DateTimeUpDown
Dim value As DateTimeFormatPattern
 
instance.FormatPattern = value
 
value = instance.FormatPattern

public DateTimeFormatPattern FormatPattern {get; set;}

Remarks

The default value is FullDateTime.

Note that when a Custom value is used for this property, it is also necessary to use the CustomFormatString property; this is done in order to set the string that will contain the date & time symbols.

You can refer to the example below to see how this can look in your code.

Example

The following code would display this control:

XAML

<xctk:DateTimeUpDown WidthRequest="300"
                     FormatPattern="Custom"
                     CustomFormatString="MMM yyyy 'Time is' hh:mm"/>
