drop TDateTimePicker programmatically? 2

[corsair2]

Hi folks,

Can anyone help by telling me how to have a TDateTimePicker component drop down programmatically ie - without any user input, for example when it gets the focus?

The Help Files insist that 'DroppedDown' can be used to set as well as get the state but - no it cann't!

Regards

You need to simulate sending an F4 function key to the DateTimePicker control using something like SendMessage or Perform.

as Andrew said, like this :

 datetimepicker1.Perform(WM_KEYDOWN, VK_F4, $003E0001);
