Greetings group,
I have a situation where I'd like to visibly see disabled dates on a
DateTimePicker. Frequently the Min and Max dates in the picker will be
set only to days apart, and so I would like this to be reflected in a
way other than it simply failing to select when they click. It seems
like this would be doable with a MonthCalendar control, however the
DateTimePicker itself doesn't seem to expose an internal MonthCalendar,
nor does it provide any kind of hihglighting options.
I'm open to any/all crazy suggestions. :)
Chris.

IIRC you can control how each cell will looks like in the control. You
could set the CssClass to a style that the text is not visible. So it will
be "invisible"
This must be for a WinForm, I don't see CssClass.

Are you saying MinDate and MaxDate properties will not do it for you?

My bad, I though it was for a web app.
But still the idea is valid, just to try to have the same color of the
font/background in the needed cells.

Nope, try it yourself. Just add a DateTimePicker and a MinDate and
MaxDate, and for me, by default, it simply means the user can't click
those dates once the MonthCalendar control has dropped down. Visibly
there isn't a difference between a valid date in the current month and
an invalid date in the current month.

This isn't a web control, but a WinForms control.

The trouble is visibility to those cells.

Yes the Idea is valid in theory and thin air. I don't see how to control
each individual day format.
It is not available like on in the web control.

Okay so what you want to do with the invalid dates is to make them
invisible.
There must be a way to override the rendering, but I don't see how now.

Hi.
I have a DateTimePicker on a win form in VB.NET 2003, and I have a database
table that contains different dates as records.
What I want to do is detect what dates are exist in the database, and mark
then on the DateTimePicker.
Does anyone know how can I mark a specific date in the DateTimePicker (which
is not the current date)?

I am using two datetimepicker controls to allow the user to select two

Maybe I'm missing a key step, but it seems when typing dates into a

not updated until the control losses focus.

Hi,
I am working on datetimepicker and want make the dates out of my range

There are APIs that I have used: minDate, maxDate. It works fine.
However, users can not tell which date can't be selected as the dates

This is not kind to user.
