Calendar controls???

[9minds]

I have a text box that is intended to maintain a date.
How do I get a small calendar object (like the ones in Outlook 2000) to appear when the focus is on this text box??

Hey
I am not sure if I understand what you want. But just put a calendar control on your form, set it's visible property
to false. Then in the text box GotFocus event put:

Calendar1.Visible = True

Then you could set it's Visible property to false in the text box LostFocus Event if you wanted to.


Is this what you wanted?

As another alternative, you could use the Date-Time Picker control instead of a textbox. The DTPicker control has a drop-down arrow that will show a calendar when clicked.

Try this..it might not be exactly what you want but here goes.

This is assuming you have the text control on the form of course :


Private Sub Text1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Show
Text1.Text = Format(Now, "Long Date")
End Sub


This way when the user moves the focus over the text box the date/time will appear on it...

You can also change the "Long Date" to others like this

"Short Date"
"General Date"
"Medium Date"


Hope this helps.

There are 2 Calendar controls you can use: Microsoft Calendar Control and another one which is found in Microsoft Comman Controls 2

Thanks, folks

I got answers from basic to fancy.

Maybe one day I'll be able to answer a few questions myself
