Date Control

[mcsherry]

I'm using the date control on a dialog. When the dialog is displayed I need to set the day field of this control to be selected. Can anyone tell me how to do this? thanks, Andy

Are we talking about a CDateTimeCtrl here? Normaly, you call SetTime() on a control-variable of type CDateTimeCtrl you added to your dialog. This would require the time you want to set in a CTime or COleDateTime class or a SYSTEMTIME structure. Another, more complicated, way would be to send the control a DTM_SETSYSTEMTIME message.

Use GetMonthCalCtrl to get CMonthCalCtrl from a CDateTimeCtrl. Use SetCurSel to select a date. Sample from MSDN: CDateTimeCtrl* pCtrl = (CDateTimeCtrl*) GetDlgItem(IDC_DATETIMEPICKER1); CMonthCalCtrl* pMoCalCtrl = pCtrl->GetMonthCalCtrl(); CTime dt2(1998, 3, 15, 0, 0, 0); pMoCalCtrl->SetCurSel(dt2);

ok, I think I may not have explained it clearly enough, what I need is for the day field of the control to be selected (i.e. if the user types then the day changes). I'm using a Date Time control which is liniked to a CDateTimeCtrl object. cheers,
