rajkumar, don't know which one you looking at... hope your result is in there.

With DTPicker1
    .CalendarBackColor = vbRed
    .CalendarTitleBackColor = vbRed
    .CalendarForeColor = vbWhite
    .CalendarTitleForeColor = vbWhite
    .CalendarTrailingForeColor = vbBlue
End With

Hmm.. never used that control, what is it called? (in the components list)

Thanks.

Hai Jop,
Select from the components option.
Microsoft Windows Common Controls-2 6.0.

I don't know of any simple way of changing the BackColor of the textbox part of this control. If colour schemes are important to you, use a textbox in synchronization with the calender control.

Hai Chris,

My Q is different. The Code u have given will change the BackColor of Calander(drop down).

I want to change the color of Text Portion.(i.e The Area which displays the date after the selection from the
Drop down Calander)

Unfortuanatly I don't think this is possible, it doesn't seem to act like a textbox because it doesn't seem to accept the EM_SETBKGNDCOLOR (WM_USER + 67) message to change the backgroundcolor.

PS: Thanks rajkumar for showing where to find it
