DateTime Picker

[stevejones]

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to change the forecolor (fontcolor) of the datetime picker. I can amend the colors of the popup calendar, but not the actual combo where the text is displayed.

Any Ideas?

I don't think you can Steve - a few months ago I developed some data-entry custom controls that would change colour if the value entered was invalid in some way (e.g. out of range). One of them used a DateTimePicker and I remember that I had to leave it so the user had to drop down the calendar to see if it had changed colour - I'm pretty sure (although this is from memory, so I could be mistaken) that there was no easy way to change the combo's font colour (or background colour, for that matter). Of course, there might be a way to do it with some fiendishly clever use of API calls, but I don't think I looked into that...
