Change HighlightText in DateTimePicker

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi.

I'm trying to change the HighlightText in the DateTimePicker.

For example,
1. Open Skin Builder > New Project Wizard > Windows Vista > OK.
2. Select Office 2007 as the Application Theme.
3. Select Black.NormalSize as the Schema.
4. In the Skin Builder Preview click on the Calendar tab
5. In the DateTimePicker select the day, month, or year.

Notice that the highlighted text is white on a blue background.

I'd like to change it to black text on a blue background.

I tried adding "HighlightText" property in System Metrics, but it didn't have any effect.

Also, If I use a SysDateTimePick32 (CDateTimeCtrl) control and link with Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls 6, the drop down button has a calendar icon.
Is it possible to add a calender icon to the button?

Thank you.
