If you want to customize the way the date is displayed, set theįormat property to Custom. If you set the Format to Short, the control uses the Short Date If you set the Format property to Long, the date displays using the Long Date formats of Control Panel. At any time, you can find out what value the Date Picker has by retrieving the value of the If you want the control to display a different date, set the desired value in the When you add the DateTimePicker control to your form or container, it displays the date of the computer at the time the control was added. MinDate and the MaxDate properties as we mentioned them from the

If you want to control the range of dates the user can select, use the To change either the day, the month, or the year, the user must click the desired section and use either the arrows of the button or the arrow keys on the keyboard to increase or decrease the selected value. If the control displays a spin button, the object is divided in different sections that can eachĬan be changed individually. The user must first put a check mark in theĬheck box in order to be able to change the date. When the check box is unchecked, the control is displayed and When the check box is checked, the user can change theĭisplayed date. The presence or absence of the check box isĬontrolled by the ShowCheckBox Boolean property whose default value is False. Use the Control's Enabled property that all other controls inherit.Īnother technique you can use is to display a check box on the left side of the In some cases, you may want to decide when to allow the user Text box section of the combo box and the calendar disappears. After the user has selected a date, the date value displays in the Part of the DateTimePicker control displays using the same colors and other properties as we saw with the MonthCalendar control. The displayed MonthCalendar object allows the user to select a date using the same techniques we described for the MonthCalendar control. To control this alignment, change the value of theĭropDownAlign property whose default value is Left. This calendar displays to the bottom-left or the bottom-right side of the combo box. If the control displays a combo box, if the user clicks the arrow on the Date control, a calendar object similar to the MonthCalendar control we saw earlier displays: It you set it to True, it appears as a spin button: When its value is set to False (the default), the control appears as a comboīox. This characteristic is controlled by the ShowUpDown Boolean property. If you do not like the combo box, you can display a spin button You just have to choose which one you want to use.Īfter adding the DateTimePicker control to the form, to allow the user to set the dates and not the times on the control, set itsįormat property either to Long or to Short.Īfter adding a DateTimePicker control and setting its Format to either Long (theĭefault) or Short, the control becomes a combo box (the default). Reality, the DateTimePicker control can be considered as two controls in one: The DateTimePicker control is based on the DateTimePicker class. To create a Date or Time Picker control, add a DateTimePicker control to a form or other container. This tremendously reduces the likelihood of mistakes. Microsoft is not extending the Mainstream Support phase for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 in any way.One of the advantages of the Date and Time Picker control is that it allows the user to select a time or a date value instead of typing it.

Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 has transitioned to Extended Support which runs through March 31, 2008. However, we are releasing this non-security related package because it contains improvements that were ready for release just prior to the end of Mainstream Support. Mainstream Support for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 ended on March 31, 2005. Customers who are not licensees of Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 nor Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 but are using older versions of the two Common Controls.Customers who are Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 and/or Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 licensees.
