I was using DatePicker ActiveX control for a windows desktop this works fine except that apparently it is a depreciated windows control. Many windows computers don’t have it installed. The problem is that if my app tries to run on a system that doesn’t have the control installed, the app fails to run by doesn’t give any error message.
The only suitable alternative I could find is the control by Einhugur, but I can’t justify spending $200 for a datepicker.
2). Is there a way to include the ActiveX control with my app, breaking the link to the external resource?
It grieves me that XOJO does not see the need for a native control like this.
That looks like something an amateur would make. I need something that the date can be typed in or selected from a dropdown calendar. Also the calendar time chooser noted on various threads is not suitable either.
I’d say you are asking for all kinds of issues… but thats just me

The VB6.0 DatePicker control is a 32-bit component. As any other control exposed by MSCOMCT2.OCX, it won’t work when used in-process within a 64-bit application[/quote]
His is very nice and basically what I need. It does ignore some keyboard input however so I couldn’t add the QuickBooks functionality I did with the VB6 DatePicker. For example pressing the “T” for today. doesn’t fire any of the key up/down events.
Can anyone tell if the paid version allows you to change core functionality of the control?
Ok. It took a little more time than I thought, never having done more than playing around with custom controls.
I’m pleased with the way it turned out. (After 10 hours of fooling around!)
I have got DateTime Picker (EinHugur plugin) because a could not use a control ActiveX (vb6 DTPicker) under xojo.
It does not run properly with ValueChanged Event, the Time Control changes only by seconds (changes very slow).
the focus on hour or minutes does not respond, even for the date …
