Hallo,

is there any way to theme the DatePicker like in office 2007 with the light blue header for the actual month and an orange filled rectangle for the selected date?

The CalendarControl has the method SetTheme() but I can't found such a method on the DatePicker class. And the Skinframework only changes the buttons in the DatePicker

Many thanks

J�rg

Hi,

Not in the same way as Calendar, but...


Private Sub Form_Initialize()
    Dim pGgg As New CalendarGlobalSettings
    pGgg.ColorManager.SystemTheme = xtpSystemThemeBlue    
End Sub

Note that you'll have to set SystemTheme before create DatePicker control because it determines SystemTheme when creating.

Hi,

thanks for your quick response.

But xtpSystemThemeBlue won't do it for me because that isn't the style outlook 2007 beta 2 uses.

I need a lighter blue for the header. Is it possible to set the colors on my own for the DatePicker control?

Another suggestion for the ShortcutBar Control: The Bars in outlook 2007 beta 2 are more themed like the ribbonbars (more like glas). It would be nice if there was a setting like XTPVisualTheme.xtpThemeRibbon to mimick this look & feel.

Best Regards

J�rg

For DatePicker there are no another solution for the moment. Most likely interface similar to Calendar's one will be added in next versions.
