The following quick start guide is intended to get you up and running with the C1TimeEditor control. In this quick start, you'll start in Visual Studio to create a new project, add a C1TimeEditor control to your application, and customize the C1TimeEditor control.

Create an Application with TimeEditor control

1. In Visual Studio, select File | New | Project.
2. In the New Project dialog box, select WPF Application.
3. Enter a Name and Location for your project and click OK to create the new application.
4. In the Toolbox, double-click the C1TimeEditor icon to add the C1TimeEditor control to the WPF application.

You have completed the first step of the C1TimeEditor quick start. In this step, you created a project and added a C1TimeEditor control to it. In the next step, you'll customize the control.

Customize the TimeEditor control

To customize the C1TimeEditor control, set the following properties from the Properties window:

• Set the C1TimeEditor.Format property to ShortTime. This will change the time format of the control so that it shows only hours and minutes.
• Set the C1TimeEditor.Increment property to "01:00:00". This will cause the value of the control to change by one hour each time a user clicks the spin button.
• Set the C1TimeEditor.Interval property to "1000". This will cause the control to hesitate for one second before changing the value of the control. 
• Set the C1TimeEditor.Value property to "17:00:00".

Now that you've customized the application, you can run the project and observe the run time behaviors of the control. 

Run the Application

1. Press F5 (or Project | Run in Blend) to run the project. Observe that it loads with a time value of 5:00 p.m. and that the control only shows hours and minutes.

   

2. Click the decrease time button  and observe that time value decreases by one hour to 4:00 p.m.

   

3. Click and hold the increase time button so that the control will spin through values. Observe that the control waits one second between value changes.
