I am trying to set the colors for the DateTimePicker. I managed to change all the calendar colors - that is, of the calendar after the DateTimePicker is click and the Calendar is opened, but nothing I do changes the colors of the control before it is click on, when it looks like a textbox. How can I change those colors?
the color properties that I have changes so far are:
.CalendarForeCo lor
.CalendarTitleF oreColor
.CalendarTraili ngForeColor
.CalendarTitleB ackColor
.CalendarTitleB ackColor

Try applying a CssClass to it and manipulating it with CSS?
On a side note, I am jealous that your DateTimePicker uses a textbox at all, I tried to use it and it just stuck a stupid calender on my page, throwing off everything.
VB.NET is what I'm using, not ASP.NET. I don't believe there is any CSS support in VB and Windows Forms....

The property of the textbox colur of a datetimepicker is protected and cannot be changed directly,
This was one of the discussions at msdn here
Im not sure if this would have changed with 3.0 / 3.5 controls
That really sucks.
BTW, I'm using 3.5

Sorry about that. I guess that explains why I got a calender and you got a textbox, hehe.
MS just released service packs for .NET on monday, did you install them and see if they fixed that issue? I wouldn't hold my breath, but you might have gotten lucky on it.
Service Pack for VS 2008?
Maybe I can find a third party DateTimePicker that I can use instead.
Do you know of any?

I have extended the datetimepicker control to incorporate
a ReadOnly property.
I have used the new keyword to implement my own version
of the value property, so that if readonly == true then
it will not set the value of the control and will leave
the checked status of the checkbox to false when a user
selects a new date.
this works fine when using the control on a win2k machine

When adding a new record from my form, I pre-set my DateTimePicker's value to
System.DateTime.Today
Since the "Today" value is used most of the time, the user doesn't need to
select a date from the DateTimePicker, since the default is shown. My problem
is, if the user does not choose a value from the DateTimePicker (because
using the default is good enough), then during database update, the date
value is not saved to the database; while if...

I have workarounds but i'd like to know the root of the problem. I've

what's going on.
It's a simple program that loads a control onto a form and binds "Foo"
against a combobox ("SelectedItem") for it's "Bar" property and a
datetimepicker ("Value") for it's "DateTime" property. The

Hi,
I am working on datetimepicker and want make the dates out of my range
disabled.
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
in the dropdown are with the same color.
This is not kind to user.
I want to make the dates out of the selectable range to show a
different color as they are disabled.

Hello:
We were hoping to allow users to have DateTimePicker value null so
that a unused date is stored on a Database. Does the control support
this? I am pretty sure it doesn't.
How would you go about representing this to a user so they are not
confused?
Thanks,
