DatePicker DayMetrics

 

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.

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
