DateTimePicker focus

[jrad]

Hello,

I have a panel in a .NET CF app that contains a DateTimePicker and a
combobox.
My DateTimePicker custom format is 'MM/dd/YYYY'.
I would like to navigate to the combobox when the user presses the
'Right' key when the DTP is focused in the YYYY field.

I tried to look at the DTP.Controls[xxx].Focused property, but there
are no child controls in my DTP.
Any ideas as to how I can determine which field of a DTP has the
focus?

Thanks,
JR

There's the DTN_WMKEYDOWN message that the parent of the date time picker
control can handle. You might be able to use that by putting a "call-back
field" at the end of your custom format string and handling the right-arrow
key there. It would probably be easiest to play with this in native code
and, once you find the right set of operations, port that back to .NET CF.
