DateTimePicker - Disable user from using arrow keys?

Hi,

I want to force the user to only use the drop down and calendar to
select a date in the DatetimePicker control.

I do NOT want them to select the control, then use the up and down
arrow keys to change the date.

How can I prevent them using the arrow keys?

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Artie

if (e.KeyCode.ToString() == "Down" || e.KeyCode.ToString() == "Up")
{
e.Cancel;
}

}
