[RESOLVED] Date Picker Control

[Nitesh]

Hi, I am running a project that I have been assigned to work on but it is not picking up the Datepicker control. I know that if you go to components and click on Microsoft Common Controls 2, then it should appear on the toolbox but it isn't there. Could someone please shed some light on this matter. It's quite urgent. Do i require a certain dll file or something. Please help. Thanx.

Well, I noticed that on my machine the Date Picker is part of
Microsoft Windows Common Controls 2.6.0
And it's labelled "DTPicker" in the Toolbox...

And you can find the MicroSoft Windows Common controls x.0, you will find this in from the Project-Components Menu

Welcome to the forums.

What version of VB do you have?

If it is the "Learning Edition", that control might not be available.

Hi, I have the ffg available to me:
1. Microsoft Common Controls 5.0(SP2)
2. Microsoft Common Controls 6.0(SP6)
3. Microsoft Common Controls-2 5.0(SP2)

Mine is the same as BilGeel's

Microsoft Windows Common Controls 2.6.0

and it has (SP6) after it.
Maybe you could try reinstalling SP6 and see if that solves your problem.
