Custom DatePicker Control

I am creating a custom datepicker and everything is working fine except. I can't seem to access the textboxes clientID.

In my custom control I have a textbox and an image, which is a link.
I need to pass the textboxes ClientID with this link, but I can't seem to get it.

Here's my code

VB Code:

Protected Overrides Sub CreateChildControls()
        Controls.Clear()
 
        JHATextBox = New TextBox
        JHATable = New Table
        JHARow = New TableRow
        JHATextCell = New TableCell
        JHAEmptyCell = New TableCell
        JHAImageCell = New TableCell
 
        JHATextCell.Controls.Add(JHATextBox)
        [color=red]JHAImageCell.Text = "<a href=""javascript:LookupDate(Form1, " & Me.JHATextBox.ClientID & ", document.forms[0]." & Me.JHATextBox.ClientID & ".value)""><img alt=""Show Calendar"" src=""/Common/images/btn_calendar.gif"" border=""0"">"[/color]
        JHARow.Cells.Add(JHATextCell)
        JHARow.Cells.Add(JHAEmptyCell)
        JHARow.Cells.Add(JHAImageCell)
        JHATable.Rows.Add(JHARow)
 
        Controls.Add(JHATable)
    End Sub

I have tried JHATextBox.ClientID as well, but I still can't get the clientID of the textBox control.

Any ideas?

I got it fixed. I couldn't access the ClientID (UniqueID) until the control was added to the page, so I had to modify the code to this and replace ClientID with UniqueID.

VB Code:

Protected Overrides Sub CreateChildControls()
        Controls.Clear()
 
        JHATextBox = New TextBox
        JHATable = New Table
        JHARow = New TableRow
        JHATextCell = New TableCell
        JHAEmptyCell = New TableCell
        JHAImageCell = New TableCell
 
        JHARow.Cells.Add(JHATextCell)
        JHARow.Cells.Add(JHAEmptyCell)
        JHARow.Cells.Add(JHAImageCell)
        JHATable.Rows.Add(JHARow)
 
        Controls.Add(JHATable)
 
        JHATextCell.Controls.Add(JHATextBox)
        JHAImageCell.Text = "<a href=""java script:LookupDate(Form1, " & JHATextBox.UniqueID & ", document.forms[0]." & JHATextBox.UniqueID & ".value)""><img alt=""Show Calendar"" src=""/Common/images/btn_calendar.gif"" border=""0"">"
 
End Sub

lol, your calendar control is starting to look like mine... (patent pending ;))

I posted a thread in here that I want people to look at our web app, use the supplied login, click event/shift logs, and you will be able to see the usability of our control..

You can press space on an empty field and it will fill in the current date...etc

Close!
Mine has a textbox with a calendar image next to it, that when clicked opens a new window with a .NET calendar control.
