Title: DATETIMEPICK_CLASS pre-load
Post by: tpekar on July 08, 2014, 04:12:19 PM

I am trying to load a DATETIMEPICK_CLASS control with my own default date but it keeps replacing it with today's date.  Is there a way to keep it from doing that?  Thanks in advance.

In line 44, right under "WM_CREATE", put the DTM_SETSYSTEMTIME message.

This seems to work but it was not clear which macro to use at first.

Code: [Select]

SYSTEMTIME st;
GetSystemTime(&st);
st.wYear = 2000; // set any
st.wMonth = 2;
st.wDay   = 3;

MonthCal_SetCurSel(hwndCal, &st);

tpekar,

You can also turn off the today stuff at the bottom. Use the style MCS_NOTODAY when creating the control.

Thanks JohnF.  That worked.
