DTPicker - Only Allowing Certain Values

[GoatieEddie]

Hi all,

I like the look of DTPicker and want to use it on my form. All works well.

What I want to do is gray out values which don't exist in the table ie only allow valid dates to be selected by the user.

I can't find anywhere to set this property so am I hoping for too much? At the moment I just use a combo-box.

Thanks
GE

The answer is no.. You can't do anything more than formatting font/color etc.. on a DTPicker.

I'm not sure how your DB is set up but if your dates are in a set range (e.g. this year 01/01/2005 - 31/12/2005) you can set the min and maxdates of the DTPicker Control via code:

DTPicker5.MinDate = "19/10/2004" [green]'you can use your minimum DB date[/green]
DTPicker5.MaxDate = "21/10/2005" [green]'you can use your maximum DB date[/green]

Not sure if this will help you but I posted just in case as it's a couple of properties of the DTPicker that don't show up in the list of available properties when coding.

Cheers
