[RESOLVED] A quick date Picker Question.

[Kev]

Hello

In my VB6 program I have a text box that is populated by a date picker.

When the form loads the date picker is set to Now.

On the change event, of the date picker, I let the text box = date picker.value, however if the user clicks on todays date within the picker, which is the default value, the text box is not poplated. Anyway around this?


Thanks

Kev.

In the _CloseUp event procedure you can place the same code in there too to populate the textbox upon closing of the dtp.

Thanks RobDog888, works like a charm.

It's an optional field used in a search, if the text box is empty then no date in the search criteria.

The dtp also supports Null dates. Set the CheckBox property to True. There will appear a small checkbox on the left side of the dtp. If they select a date then its checked. If they dont want a date then unchecked it. No textbox needed then

If you put a msgbox in the Change event, and click on today's date, the message box isn't displayed. For some reason, when you select today's date, the change event doesn't fire. I think it is because the date picker doesn't recognize today's date as a Change.

Anyway, I usually place today's date in my textbox in the Form_Load. That way, if today's date is desired, no selection needs to be made.

I didn't know about the check box property and Null dates, thanks again.

Hack, the reason I leave the text box empty is that todays date is relevent in the search. I only want to use a date if the user enters one.


Thanks gain though.
