SendMessage messages - Datepicker control

[But_Why]

Does anyone know the values of the Datepicker controls messages?
eg
Sendmessage(dtpicker1.hwnd,DTM_SETTEXTCOLOR,0,color)

I want to know what the value for DTM_SETTEXTCOLOR is? Or even if it exists. I know the DTM prefix exists, but i can't find out what suffixes it takes.
Basically i want to change the forecolor or the back color of the datepicker control. I don't want to change the calendar, just the control, that you can see when you load the puppy up.

Anyone know the value or how to change the color??

DTM_SETMCCOLOR = &H1006

I think this is what you need the lparam determines what you are
setting and wparam determines the color. i couldn't find anything
on microsoft except for one page the dealt with windows ce
and it stated that

MSCC_BACKGROUND - background between months

MSCC_MONTHBK - background in month

MSCC_TEXT - text within month

MSCC_TITLEBK - title background

MSCC_TITLETEXT - title text

MSCC_TRAILINGTEXT - header and trailing day text

i couldn't find values for these constants though.

The constanst are all defined in CommCtrl.h

e.g.

Public Enum CalendarControlColourIndexes
    MCSC_BACKGROUND = 0
    MCSC_TEXT = 1
    MCSC_TITLEBK = 2
    MCSC_TITLETEXT = 3
    MCSC_MONTHBK = 4
    MCSC_TRAILINGTEXT = 5
End Enum

There is also a macro exported by the comctl32.dll called DateTime_SetMonthCalColor that does this.

Public Const DTM_FIRST = &H1000
Public Const DTM_GETSYSTEMTIME = (DTM_FIRST + 1)
Public Const DTM_SETSYSTEMTIME = (DTM_FIRST + 2)
Public Const DTM_GETRANGE = (DTM_FIRST + 3)
Public Const DTM_SETRANGE = (DTM_FIRST + 4)
Public Const DTM_SETFORMAT = (DTM_FIRST + 5)
Public Const DTM_SETMCCOLOR = (DTM_FIRST + 6)
Public Const DTM_GETMCCOLOR = (DTM_FIRST + 7)
Public Const DTM_GETMONTHCAL = (DTM_FIRST + 8)
Public Const DTM_SETMCFONT = (DTM_FIRST + 9)
Public Const DTM_GETMCFONT = (DTM_FIRST + 10)

Thanks ppl!! greatly appreciated.. Some of those constants i think are for changing the Calendar part of it, but a couple look like they might be just what i was after.

But i have just found something else. If you set the CustomFormat to Chr(32) (space) then it will make the Datepicker show a blank box!! this is what i was hoping for!
Thanks again!!
