DateTimePicker color - C# / C Sharp

Dave Anson

How can I change the color of the dropdown arrow on DateTimePicker? I have
used the ToolStripRender class to change the back color/gradient of the
ToolStrip, and DrawMode for some other controls. Is there a equivalent for
the DateTimePicker?

Hello Dave,

The Microsoft DateTimePicker can't do that. If a commercial control is
an option, in the next release of Smart FieldPackEditor I wish to let
the client application decide the type of each field in the editor.
This way you could derive your own class from the DropDownButtonField
and draw the arrow the way you want...
