dateTimePicker navigation - Visual Basic .NET

touf

Hi,
I've a DateTimePicker control , format dd/mm/yyyy
How is it possible to always highlight the DD part when the user clic inside
the control or use the TAB key to go in.
This will simplify the data entry because the user can clic inside the
control and start typing.

Thanks.

Put this in your events

TextBox1.SelectionStart = 1

TextBox1.SelectionLength = 2

TextBox1.Select()

Thanks
But I didn't understand... my control isn't a textBox, it's a
datetimepicker, and it doesn't have the property selectionStart.

can you explain me more please?

Sorry,

Isnt the idea of a date time picker that you cant mess up the date, and you
pick from selected date ranges. You cant edit this field anyway as far as I
am aware can you ?
