DateTimePicker Problem

[Sumit]

Hi all,

I have a datetimepicker on my windows form.
When the user selects it i check whether the date entered is a Sunday
or not & if its not a sunday i want that the control remains on the
DateTimePicker & the DateTimePicker is displayed in its expaned form
(i.e displaying the calendar).

If i do a datetimepicker.focus(), then the focus goes to the
datetimepicker but the user who is using it might ignore the focus as
nothing is highlighted as such.

Thats why i need to display the calender of the datetimepicker.

Kindly suggest a way..

Warm Regards

Hi Sumit,

the solution that immediatly comes to Dr. Dirty's mind (the docutor for the
real "quick and dirty" stuff) is to use SendKeys after the call to Focus
like this:

<code>
dateTimePicker1.Focus();

SendKeys.Send("{F4}");

</code>

Although this will actually close the dropdown for some milliseconds and
then reopen it, it might also be a helpfull effect since the user will
notice the flashing.

Hope this helps,
Neno
