DateField in format : HH:mm:ss:ms

Hi Guys,

Im busy working on a project where I need to capture the current time as soon as a user presses a button, the problem is that in MIDP 2.0 the DateField only accepts time to the minute as soon as you click "save" it displays time in this format : 12:01:00. I need a custom control that allows me to set the time in the following format : 12:01:10:54 (Hours: Minutes: Seconds: Milliseconds)...

Is this at all possible as I have done extended searches on both google and other forums for a solution without any success.

Gib

Hi,

It is not possible to do what you want with the DateField class.

Yip thanks I realised that it was impossible to do so so I drew on a canvas.It works I had to do it in a hurry so don't hesitate to revise the code for optimization if you need to, im sure there is room for improvement.

The code is attached as timer.zip

Sorry for the double post I forgot to mention that I only had to go up to HH:MM:SS in the end its obviously possible to extend it to milliseconds if you need to.

Cheers,
Gib
