DateTimePicker Control

David Youngblood

11/16/2010 12:01:00 PM

Not really a VB question.

I have a DateTimePicker control created from the common control library
comctl32.dll. On Win7, the user can not select any weekday part in the
control.

For example,
CustomFormat = "MMMM dd, dddd", displays - November 16, Tuesday
The user can select November or 16, but not Tuesday. Order doesn't matter,
weekday is never seletable. This wasn't an issue on XP, so why the change?

Did you ship and properly register comctl32.ocx? (As opposed to dll)
Did you mean your app is using the OCX?

Huh. Yeah, confirmed. You can't even highlight the weekday, can you?
Looks like they changed the behavior of the underlying DLL?

Thanks for the confirmation. It's nice to know it wasn't something I was
doing wrong, this time.

Well, to be honest, I didn't check to see that my code "worked" in XP.

Not sure I've ever seen that format used before.
