Date Time Picker Troubles (RESOLVED)

[The Phoenix]

Okay, I have a program I'm writing for a friend. There is a form to add a new record to a file. At the bottom of this form are three date-time-pickers. These are generally the last things a user will change on this form. Next to each DTP is a label that shows a date after the date selected in the DTP. I want the label to update after the user picks a date on the accompanying DTP.

What event should I use to trigger that?

What I want, is that the label will update only after a date has been picked, so dtpDate.Valuedchanged is no good, because then the label updates with each click. dtpDate.Validating is no good either because you have to focus on something else to activate it, and as I said, the user is done clicking things by this point, so the last label never gets updated.

Any suggestions?

Try :

Private Sub DateTimePicker1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As 
Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
DateTimePicker1.TextChanged
 
        Label1.Text = DateTimePicker1.Value
 
End Sub

Aw, Geez. I really should have seen that.

Thanks. I'm glad you guys are friendly to newbies, cause I sure give you all reason to yell at us newbs for our stupidity.

Actually, that doesent really work for me either. What I do with the labels is this: The DTP is a date of the last time you gave your dog its shots. The label is the next time the dog is due for shots. If it's overdue, I showa message box. So, if I use TextChanged, and say the shots were 3 years ago, the dumb message box keeps popping up as you go backward through the DTP.

However, this time I managed to avoid sounding like a complete nOOb, and found the solution myself: the CloseUP event!

Thanks for the help though, Pirate!
