MonthCalendar problem
-
Hi, I have a readonly textBox on my windows form, when the user clicks on the textBox I display a monthCalendar control, then in the DateSelected event I populate the textBox with the selected date. My only problem is that the user might decide that the date is not necessary and want to remove it from the textBox. I have tried looking at the hitTest method of the calendarControl but the hitTestArea is always returned as nowhere. Does anyone have any idea of how I might be able to remove the date from the textBox?? Thanks in advance. Gavin Jeffrey

This is really just a UI design issue, you could simply add a small button with a
Textproperty of "Clear" which would then clear the value from theTextBox. - Nick Parker

How about a
Button"Clear Date" or something similar besides yourTextBoxwhose Click event handler simply clears theTextproperty of yourTextBox.?

Thanks guys, Well this seems to be my only option - I was hoping to find a "cleaner" solution since my form is already so cluttered. I have searched endlessly but i can't seem to find any other way besides a button. Looks like i will have to go with the button. Thank for the help. Gavin

Another option that comes to mind is using a ContextMenu. For example this could be displayed after right-clicking your TextBox and contain the MenuItem "Clear Date". After clicking the MenuItem the TextBox is cleared. Never you really worked with ContextMenus so I can give no further help. But I think it's worth a try and shouldn't be that complicated:)
