Is there a way to, at runtime, change a textbox to be a datetimepicker?
I have a form that I allow the user to specify what field types the
input boxes are. They can be regular text, integer, money, date, or
date&time. So, I have the textbox and when I see that this field is a
date, I want to change the textbox to a datetimepicker. Can that be done
at runtime?
TIA

Darin,
Just hide the textbox and show the DateTimePicker in its place when the user
makes a request to enter a date.

I have done that before, I just don't want to now. This for has 10
textboxes, user definable to text, int, money, date, date&time. I have
my own controls for int text box and money text box, so, using your
solution, I would have to create 10 text boxes, 10 integer boxes, 10
money boxes, and 10 datetimepicker, then hide the one I don't need. That
seems like an awful lot of overhead.
I guess I could build each box at runtime for that specific type - I
will work on that.

Darin,
you could always instantiate the control when you need it and then dispose
of it when you don't
Dim dtctl as New DateTimePicker
MyForm.Controls .Add(dtctl)
' and when the user requests a new type of control
MyForm.Controls .Remove(dtctl)
dtctl = Nothing
' now show the new control

Hi,
I'm still somewhat new to OO. I am creating a class for a TextBox because I
need some specific things for it to do. That is, I'm inheriting a TextBox
and putting in some properties, etc. that I need for it. Now I find I need
to do something similar with a DateTimePicker. Many of the things I have to
add are the same. It seems to me that there's probably an OO way to handle
this so that I don't have to re-type all of the stuff I...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
