	Hi, instead xptControlPopup use xtpControlButtonPopup...

	Thanks for that Oleg - it works fine. I am trying to mimic a calendar type popup control - by using a command bar and adding a calendar within a picture box to a xtpcontrolcustom. (If I just use the handle of the Calendar control it dissapears when you click on it.) Dim cbcc As CommandBarControlCustom, cbb As CommandBarButton, cbp As CommandBarPopup Set cbcc = .ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlCustom, ID_TEXT1, "") cbcc.Handle = Text1.hwnd cbcc.Flags = xtpFlagControlStretched Set cbp = .ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlButtonPopup, ID_DatePickerDropDown, "") cbp.Style = xtpButtonIcon cbp.IconId = 1 cbp.ToolTipText = "Select a date from the calendar." Set cbcc = cbp.CommandBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlCustom, ID_DatePicker, " ") cbcc.Handle = picDatePicker1.hwnd cbcc.Style = xtpButtonAutomatic When I click the value on the calendar it puts it in the text box but then i need to close the expanded menu to hide the calendar. I do this by executing the command button and then setting the focus to the text box. Text1 = DatePicker1.Selection.Blocks(0).DateBegin Dim cbp As CommandBarPopup Set cbp = cbToolbar.FindControl(, ID_DatePickerDropDown) cbp.Execute Text1.SetFocus However, my problem is this - the calendar button still retains the highlight box (focus rectangle) around it until you hover the mouse back over the control. How do I get rid of this and am I going about this the wrong way? Thanks again Lee
