Date Picker Control Doesn't Show Current Date In Field
How do I set the display date in the Date Picker control field ? MSDN says that it should return the current date by default, but it only shows the current date highlighted in the drop down calendar.
The control shows the date when the control was created and added to the form.
How do I set the date at form load ?
Code:
dtpicker1.value = ? ' how do I call current date ?

Date Time Picker Control: How Do Set The Displayed Date To Null?
I have a front end database form with date fields using the MS dtp control. The fields are unbound, but populated using a data class. The problem is that on many occasions the date field is Null, ie no data available. On display the dtp control always defaults to a set date, usually today (this is a property function of the control). What I can't seem to do is to display no date, or to delete the date displayed. Any thoughts would be very gratefully recieved. API perhaps?
I'm trying very hard not to have to write an Active-X control based on the dtp (mainly because of multilingual support and different localisation issues regarding dd/mm/yyyy (used by 90% of the world's population, and mm/dd/yyy - used by the remaining 10% in the US - sorry just had to get that jibe in for those of us who despair at having to go in to custom formatting in Excel simply to get dd/mm/yy )
Many thanks
DATE Problems - Change Date Format To European, Get Current Date, Subtract 2 Dates?
Need someone to point me in the right direction/start me off with this please as I am quite clueless on it at present...
I need something that can successfully subtract two dates...
eg. calculate the difference between the current date
02/04/04 (2nd April 04) and 29/03/04 (28th March 04)
...
which will then output a result of 5 days
So what I need to know is...
1.
I need to know how to get the current date from the system clock
2.
I must somehow get my date function converted into European date format (as at present it is in USA format ie. 2nd April 04 is 04/02/04 like April 2nd 04 which is not good!)
3.
and then I must actually SUBTRACT the 2 dates (the current date and a date that is given) from each other to give an integer which I can then use (ie. a value like 5 or 15).
But I have little idea how to go about this
Can anyone please start me off?

Date Picker Control
Hi, I am running a project that I have been assigned to work on but it is not picking up the Datepicker control. I know that if you go to components and click on Microsoft Common Controls 2, then it should appear on the toolbox but it isn't there. Could someone please shed some light on this matter. It's quite urgent. Do i require a certain dll file or something. Please help. Thanx.

Date Picker Control
I understand that it is called the Date Picker, but does it not have an option to select the time?
If not is there another object that would allow you to select the time? Something similar to the one used when you setted the System clock in MS Windows.
Date Picker Control
I am working with the DTPicker Date picker control. I have it bound to a data source and some times the date is null and I want to have the date picker be blank if the date is null. The problem I have is I can't figure out how or if I can have a date picker be blank until a date is picked.

How To Put Current Date In To Access Field From VB Code?
Hello All,
I am Having some trouble putting Date value in to a Access DB file with VB6.0.
Here's what my code (Just for the insertion part) looks like. Based on a timer interval, I am trying to write the date value (short format)in to my Access DB
table Named "DAQ".
------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Set DBX = New ADODB.Connection
DBX.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = C:My.mdb"
DBX.Open
DBX.Execute ("Insert Into DAQ(LDate) Values('Date', 'my data')")
DBX.Close
End Sub
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried formatting my access 2000 column "LDate" with various date formats without any success. Can somebody point out what I am doing wrong here and may be help out with the proper syntax for doing this?
I can get Access to write in the date automatically by setting the field parameters thru Access each time I send "my data" to the DB (without using "Date", or "Date()" or "Now"). But I want to learn how to add the date to a Access DB field with VB code.
Thanks.

Date Time Picker Control
Hello everybody
I`ve been using the Date Time Picker control to let a user select a DATE. This control has also the word 'Time' in it. But I have found no way to let a user select the time.
Can this control be used to select 'Time' as well as 'Date' after all?
thx, in advance

Question On Date Picker Control
Why doesn't this work:
VB Code:
Private Sub DTPicker1_Click()Text1.Text = DTPicker1.ValueEnd Sub
When I click on a date, nothing happens. I put a break at the beginning of this routine, and when I clicked nothing happened. This tells me the event, itself, is not firing and I don't know why.
Date/Time Picker Control With XP Look
I searched allot for this, but it seems that no one has the solution.
The dtp control (Common Controls 6.0) looks the same under
2000 and XP even with the manifest file and code.
Is there no way to get the XP look on this control without
resorting to using a third party control (not allowed for project )?
Thanks in advance for any input on this?
Date/Month Picker Control
Hi,
Quick question regarding the DTPicker.
I've got the control on a worksheet and in one of my modules I want to refer to it's current value.
My question is how do I?
I've tried...
Code:
dtmStart = DTPStart.Value
But that doesn't seem to work and the help within Excel for the control is next to worthless.
Many thanks & regards.
Date Picker Control And Null
Hello
I am new with the date picker control. I would like to have one date picker control but the date for that field is not required. When information is entered about a product it could have a date or not. I don't see where you can just leave it blank on the date picker. It appears that you have to enter a date. Is there anyway that I can leave a blank space if no date is required for that product life?
Thanks

Date Time Picker Control
I'd like to use this control to display date as well as to allow to enter it. If field doesn't have any date yet, this control displays todays date. Cannot find the way to clear it. I would prefere not to use any third party (like sheridan) controls. I also do not want to cover this control with something (like label or text box). Any help would be appreciated.

Cannot Find Date/Time Picker Control
Hello,
On my VB6 program, I cannot find the MS Date/Time Picker Control.
I selected References -> Browse -> System32 folder -> MSCOMCT2.OCX -> Open. Then there was a Microsoft Windows Common Controls-2 6.0 checked. So I clicked OK.
Then I selected Components, a Microsoft Windows Common Control 6.0 (SP6) was already checked. I could not uncheck it because it was in used. When I also checked Microsoft Windows Common Controls-2 6.0, it popped up an error of Name conflicts with existing module, project, or object library.
What should I do? I just want to use the DateTimePicker.

Date Picker Control Question - How Do I NOT Display The Calendar?
I have several date picker controls that are being using to select a sign off date.
I have been given a list of folks that are authorized to do sign offs. If the logged in user is not on the sign off list (which is nothing more than a backend db table), then my specs call for me to pop up a message box indicating that you are not authorized. All of that works fine.
The problem is that once OK is pressed on the message box, the drop down calendar is still displayed, and I have not figured out a way to not display calendar, even though the control has been clicked, if the user is not authorized.
Does anyone know how to click on a date picker control but NOT display a drop down calendar?
(BTW: I wanted to just disable the control altogether in the Form Load if the logged in user wasn't authorized to perform this task, but, I've been told I have to be nice and tell them they can't sign off, so disabling the control is not an option.)
Stupid Question About Selecting Value Of A Date Picker Control
Here is my issue.... I want to highlight the contents of a date picker whenever that contol gets the focus. I want to keep my application consistant since I am already doing this with combos and text boxes(using the .SelStart and .SelLength properties).
Is this possible to do on the date picker??
All that I get now is the month selected.... ie, if the contents of the date picker's value is "01/10/2001", all that is selected is the "01" when the user tabs to that field.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Custom Format With Date/Time Picker Control
How do you get the date/time picker control to display time in a format such as 'h:mm ampm'? I have set the format of the control to custom and put the format in the CustomFormat property, but the ampm part dosen't seem to work properly. It looks like it is confusing the m's in 'ampm' with minutes. Is there a proper mask or escape character to do this?? Is it even possible at all? Any help is appreciated

Commit Edit To Date Time Picker Control (RESOLVED)
Hello everybody
I have a Date Time picker control on my form. The problem is that, sometimes a user may choose to edit only the day and not the month. So after he/she edits the day, and without moving on to the month component, he/she can press a button on the toolbar which attempts to read the value of the Date Time Picker control. In such a case it seems that the day has not been updated. So the toolbar handler reads the previous value.
Is there a way to force the control to update the value, with the newly inputed data?
thx, in advance

Grouping By Date Where Date Field Is Date/time
I have an SQL7 database storing datetime data, and totaliser reading, new records are added every 5 minutes.
I have written the following sql to give me the the min and max totaliser reading for each day - which works fine - except that the resultant Date field is a text field not a date field so the order statement generates an incorrect listing if the data selected sarts in one month and ends in the next, eg.
select left(Date, 12) as Date, Min(Reading) as Day_Start, Max(Reading) as Day_End from Steam where tag_no = 2 and (Date <= '24-November-2005 00:00:00' and Date >= '22-October-2005 00:00:00') Group By left(Date, 12) order by Date asc
Is there another function I can use to extract just the date from the date/time field as a date data type?
I cannot alter the database as its structure is predetermined by the remote field device supplying the data.

Date Difference Using Date Picker
What is the secrect to finding the difference in date using the Date picker? Here is my inaccurate code:
Dim DaysRented as Long/Date/?
DaysRented = DateDiff("d", dtpEnd.value, dtpStart.value)
DaysRented value continues to be -1 if a long, integer and a strange date if declared a date. What's the secret to this?

Best Control For A Date Field
I need a control on my form for birth date. It needs to be able to accept a NULL value from my Access table and present that as a blank control, with a __/__/____ mask.
I've tried using masked edit control, but if you have seen my post "Run time error 380", posted earlier today with several replies, you know the problems with that. That is, I haven't been able to find a way to blank the mask edit control when the value in the Access table is NULL.

The fields data types are as follows

Date Format But Not Current Date HOW?
I am new to VB. Work with VB5 Enterprise.
I think this should be simple, but I cannot figure it out:
How do I create a text-box in which the user can write a random date that is not today's date. And still keep the date format?
Example: User inputs 12122009 and I want textbox to change into: 12-12-2009 or 12:12:09 or 12-12-09 or 12:12:2009.
The change should be instant or at the latest at "lost focus".
All the examples I have found work with the current date.
Any ideas?
All the best

Any ideas??
