VB.NET 2008 - DateTimePicker Colors ?

19
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:
.CalendarForeColor
.CalendarTitleForeColor
.CalendarTrailingForeColor
.CalendarTitleBackColor
.CalendarTitleBackColor

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

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?
