The syntax of the TimeInput function consists of the following parts:
Part |
Description |
|---|---|
Title |
String with a title for the dialog box. Permitted data structures are Scalar value. Supported data types are String. |
Remarks
The function interprets the user input as local time, which must be entered in the format set up in Windows Control Panel, e. g. Month/Day/Year Hour:Minute:Second. The user does not have to specify all of the elements of the time. Missing elements are completed by the current system date. The element Second can be specified with fractional digits.
The function returns as the result the scalar value of calendar time data type corresponding to the time entered. If an invalid date is entered, for example one before 1.1.1970, then the function passes an invalid calendar time value.
If an argument is a list, then the first element in the list is taken. If this is also a list, then the process is repeated.
