[SOLVED] DateTimePicker Display Bug!?

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

Hi,

I am using several DateTimePicker controls on a form and my requirement initally is to have these blank so the user must enter a date. I have done this using the following code in the Form Load event:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    With dtpDateOfRequest
        .Format = xtpPickerCustom        
        .Value = Format$(Date, "dd/mm/yyyy")
        .CustomFormat = " "
    End With
End Sub

So far so good, the control is blank and all seems fine... until I try and select a date, without setting the CustomFormat to "dd/mm/yyyy" I get no date appearing in the control so using the following code I get the date to appear, however the date displays as "25/00/2010":

Private Sub dtpDateOfRequest_Change()
    Debug.Print dtpDateOfRequest.Value
    dtpDateOfRequest.CustomFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"
    Debug.Print dtpDateOfRequest.Value
End Sub

The Debug.Print lines cleary print the date as "25/08/2010" but the control displays "25/00/2010", is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks...
