Setting the time in the clock control

[Former Member]

is it possible to set the time in the clock control? It always shows the current local time. In the "Control Properties" i can define an expression and map a value from a data field to it, but it doen't effect anything. What do i have to do to let the given time be shown? is that possible at all?

the online documentation says the following...

A read-only control for displaying time values in an analog or digital clock. It can be used either for displaying the value of a time field, or the continuously running time of the system clock.

The control can't be used to display time values retrieved from a database or other sources. it's a read-only control to display system-time and it's time-zone can be modified.

Hi Jochen,

Clock control will display only the System time but you can change it by defining the 'Time Zone' dropdown in 'Display' tab of Clock properties.
