    Posted: 14 March 2005 at 6:34am

Just a quick question about the new date time picker scheduled for the v10 release.

I've been searching for a replacement for the current DTPicker control that would implement XP styles (obviously because the standard DTPicker doesn't!). Naturally after spending some time searching through various sites, it's only then I notice that you guys are implementing something along those lines in v10. Will this be able to directly mimic the current DTPicker control? i.e. a simple drop-down that displays a single-month calendar control when clicked? From the current description (in the coming soon section) I couldn't tell whether your control can work that way or not.

Thanks.

try searching the visual coders datetime picker... it supports visual styles and one good thing... compared to using windows common control 3 by adding it to ur project... the visual coders datetime picker is considerably small in size...

try it.. ive been using it.. to replace the standard datetime picker...

another thing... it is the exact implementation of the standard datetime picker

Glad you like my DateTimePicker younicke :) I actually have a new one in the making which supports more of the new XP functionality.

You will find the control at www.vbcodemagician.dk . It's absolutely free andthe source code is included.

Incidentally. Not really the place to ask, but any idea why there appears to be a 2 pixel border around the drop-down glyph, whereas normal combos have a single pixel? Not a biggie, just looks a little strange.

I am not exactly sure what you mean. Could you post a screenshot?

See the image below. As I said, it's not a big problem, but the drop-down glyph on the date time picker has a slightly larger white border around it than a standard combo or image combo, which just means it can look a little strange sometimes. As you can see below, the glyph is aligned slightly to the left on the DTPicker, because of this border.

That is an "error" in the DTP control itself, not in my implementation of it. There is an easy solution though. If you download the source code for my DTP, and in the UpdatePosition Sub alter the code so that it is:

Call MoveWindow(dtp_hWnd, -15, -15, ScaleWidth+30, ScaleHeight+30, True)

.. the dropdown button will be aligned properly with a single pixel space around it. You will however need to make a test it XP Themes are in use (and supported). Otherwise the DTP will look a little strange on older Windows versions.

I can well believe it's an error in the windows control itself. Wouldn't be the first time.

Wouldn't your fix lose the outside edge of the control? Since it looks like you're expanding the dtpicker size so that it's larger than the usercontrol size, that would mean the outside edge would be clipped wouldn't it (even though the rest of it is the right size)?

Not that I'm really complaining of course.

Yes it would. But you could give the UserControl itself a border instead, and this way it would look like the real deal. It's not pretty but it will work.
