Month Calendar class question 1

[paulcy82]

I want to set a variable equal to whatever the user clicks on the calendar. I have looked through the methods and properties and I cannot seem to find what I am looking for. Below is the code that I want to execute when the user clicks a date.

Private Sub MonthCalendar1_DateChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DateRangeEventArgs) Handles MthCal.DateChanged
curDate = MthCal.---What goes here---
End Sub

I'm going to take a wild guess at .Value or .Date

None of those choices exist that I can see

 

[ThatRickGuy]

Ahh well, it was worth a try. Where did you get this Month Calander?

Under the toolbox it is called MonthCalendar. That is where I got it from. There is also a DateTimePicker.

try .selectionrange

It says that a value of that type cannot be converted to a date.

Dim curDate as Date
curDate = MthCal.selectionRange

That returns a type of SelectionRange not a Date. You can use the SelectionStart and SelectionEnd if you want to return a Date type.

selectionStart works, but am I going to have a problem with this because this is for use with a range of dates? I only want one date selected. I ran the program and I do not see any problems, when I select a date my variable is set to that date. Just want to make sure.

 

[ca8msm]

Nope you won't have any problems - if only one date is selected the "range" is simply for that day so it is still a range but it just happens to only be for the same day.
