I only need to read my db once or when the user changes the month so I was doing this:

Private Sub DatePicker1_DayMetrics(ByVal Day As Date, ByVal Metrics As XtremeCalendarControl.IDatePickerDayMetrics)

Dim rst As ADODB.RecordSet
Set rst = New ADODB.RecordSet

' query db based on day.

If Not rst.EOF Then

    rst.MoveFirst

 

    Do

    Metrics.Font.Bold = True
   
    rst.MoveNext
    Loop Until rst.EOF

End If

 

rst.Close

If Day = Me.DatePicker1.LastVisibleDay Then Me.DatePicker1.AskDayMetrics = False

End Sub

 

now i would have thought that if day equals the last visible day I could turn off the metrics. Yes that works. until the control loses focus then all the dates disappear. Also you have to load the form with metrics on. Explicity turning back on the metrics does not refresh the dates and you have to manually select the control with the mouse and use a DatePicker1.AskDayMetrics = True in the .selectionchanged event. Not good! Perhaps Larry you could try modifying my code and share if you fix it. Cheers

I want to be able to run the Day Metrics one single ime, and then set it so id does not re-run.  I know this post is 7 or 8 years old, so I am hoping to god that this has finally been addressed????

 

Someone, anyone, please help me out here......

 

 

1) Change selected date

2) Change to another month

3) MouseEnter Today button

4) MouseLeave Today button

5) MouseEnter None button

6) MouseLeave None button

 

That pretty much renders this event completely unusable - thus eliminating the ability to modify DatePicker font style.

 

Please - someone chime in here and tell me I'm crazy.  Why would I want to refresh font metrics for something that's still visible on the screen?

 

1)  Is there a way to update the metrics once, then set AskDayMetrics = false until the months displayed change?  I guess another way of asking this would be:  Is there a way to determine when the control has finished updating...?

 

2)  Is the metrics object being destroyed after the event handler exits?  I've tried passing this object on to a non-blocking handler... but modifications to that object are not reflected in the control.
