Calendar Control Gridlines

[nevets2001uk]

Hi,

I was just working with a calendar control and was wondering if there is a way to change the color of the gridlines. I only seem to be able to get the default colour of white.

Also while on the topic of the calendar control, does anyone know a good place where all the formatting options are listed for the control. I'm trying to acheive a very specific look and it might be helpful if I could find a list of which elements can be changed and how. My searches on Google don't bring up much about the control!

Cheers!

Sorry , I am new in this(This must be very elementary)
How do I display Calendar as scrolling toolbar(I just dragged and dropped, It is showing the complete calendar, I want it shown with scrolling fashion.)
Also, how do I calculate the days as the user clicks on two calendars. How do I save those two dates and calculate the total number of days from the two.
I am sure there is a date object How do I do that?
Thanks in Advance
