DateTimePicker - select Time only? 1

[rjoubert]

Using VB.NET 2005

I placed a DateTimePicker control on my windows app form, and changed the Format property of the control to "Time." When I run the app and click the drop down arrow on the control, I still get a calendar control to select a date. Changing the date selected does nothing to affect the time displayed. Is there some other property I can set to allow me to select the time only? Or can I at least prevent the calendar from dropping down?

When I need a "TimePicker", I use the DateTimePicker. I set the Format to Time and the ShowUpDown property to True. The ShowUpDown property removes the drop down calendar and adds numeric-type up and down arrows. You can then select each part of the time (hour, minute, etc) and scroll it up and down.

If I need a dropdrown-type time picker, I use a combobox and fill it with intervals based on the requirement, which usually for me tends to be 15 or 30 minutes so the list is never "too" long.

Thanks...setting the ShowUpDown property to True was exactly what I needed.
