DateTime.Value

The DateTime Control Object that is returned by the AddDateTime function has a Value property. The Value property can be used to set the time and date for the DateTime item on the Form.

Syntax

ControlObject.Value = Date/Time

Where ControlObject. is the name of the variable (declared in your script) that is used to store the DateTime Control Object that is returned by the AddDateTime function.

Description

Arguments

Date/Time {string}

The "Date/Time" value has to be in a valid time format (see Using OPC Time Formats in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Configuration).

DateTime1.Value = "25/06/2006"


Where:

  • DateTime1 is the name of the variable used to store the DateTime Control Object that is returned by the AddDateTime function (which would be defined earlier in the script)
  • "25/06/2006" sets the date to 25th June 2006.
