I'm using the following line of code while creating a Word Document...
wrdDoc.SaveAs(filename & ".1 " & DateTimePicker1.Text & ".docx")
Lets say DateTimePicker1.text = 3/15/11
I can't use / symbols in a file name so how would I turn that value into 3-15-11 so I can use it in my file name string?
I have a label that reads a random line from a text file and that string becomes the text for the label.
Now the problem; the label will only work if it is clicked because the event handler is click.What I need is this to work automatically at startup. In other words, it should change the label's text to the random string of the text file on startup of the application.
Here is my code.[code..]
I have been trying to figure out how to change the Forecolor of my DateTimePicker.
View 1 RepliesI have this datetimepicker in my application. The user can select the time they want. I used a custom one and this is the code I used:
Code:
TimeFrom_dtp.CustomFormat = "HH:mm"
TimeTo_dtp.CustomFormat = "HH:mm"
I also have an array; a combobox and a variable called: TimeInterval. here is the code I use:
Code:
Dim ReadingFrequency(7) As Double
Dim TimeInterval As Integer
Private Sub CustomizeGraph_frm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[code]....
What I want is to change how much the datetimepicker increments, when you click the arrows, depending on the value that is entered in the combobox. For example, if the user has 2 hours in the combobox, the datetimepicker will increment by two hours and won't let the user change the minutes. If the user selects 15 minutes, the minutes will increment by 15 on the datetimepicker.

How to change the background Color of the "Box" (that shows the day, Date etc ith an Arrow for Dropdown calendar) that appears in the Form1 when you add the DateTimePicker to the Form. This I want to do since the white color of this DateTimePicker Box gives a horrible look when I make the Form with a different color and I want this DateTimePicker to have the same color as the color of the Form where the dateTimePicker lies. I am learning Visual Basic using MS VS 2005.
View 1 RepliesI found this on the web after i was searching on how to change the background color of a dateTimePicker the actual background of the control not the background of the calendar within the control. I have my computer windows set up with a green color so my eyes get no so much of a workout, instead of white like is default. so when the dateTimePicker is displayed in the program im building it is green, unless i set my windows color to white in the appearance/advance/window

I want to change the Forecolor and the Font color of the DateTimePicker. (The one Narrow white window with Black font which appears on dragging "D.T.Picker" control onto the "Form").
So far, I couldn't do it.
I found the same question (by someone on 31st Aug 2007) and answers by Figo Fei in the forum. Figo fei said, "It is truly not possible to directly modify the forecolor of the DateTimePicker which is concealed in its implementation. However, there is a workaround to change its forecolor through own-draw mode in a custom control inherited from dateTimePicker.". And he gave the code which looks like - for me - either VC++ or VC#.

How to change the date format of DateTimePicker in vb.net.
I have set the DateTimePicker Format to "Short". I want the date to be shown in the format dd/mm/1990.
I have an unbound DateTimePicker Control on a form. When the form loads the control shows 2005 - 01 as expected.

I've got a datetimepicker control on a vb .net 2008 form. I have set it to show a custom format of "dd/MM/yyyy". The problem is this: - when i click on the arrow button, a small calendar is shown in which i should be able to select a date. The only way i can do that is by using the arrow keys and pressing Enter. Clicking on any date value inside this calendar doesn't do anything.How can i make the value of the datetimepicker change to what i have clicked inside the dropdown calendar?
View 11 RepliesI populate a hash table with the name of a control as the key and the control itself as the value using the following code that loops through my code on start-up:
Private Sub Populate_Hash_Table()
For Each ctrl As Control In Me.Controls
For Each member As Control In ctrl.Controls

This method works effectively, but the only problem is I seem to get a preformance hit as it takes a second to set the current control to false and the new one's visibility to true. What way should I modify my code so that it works more efficiently?

View 3 RepliesI have about 7 different DateTimePickers that I populate with data from my database. In my database there are Date fields that are actually NULL like a date hasn't been set. I have allowed for this to happen but every time I load up the information into the DateTimePickers, a default date appears even if no data is there in the database. If there is no data, I want the DateTimePickers text to be nothing. Is there anyway around this annoying problem?

View 5 RepliesI've got a DateTimePicker which I 'dynamically' assign the Paint-Event, unfortunately as long as this Event is assigned neither the text nor the DropDown-Button are rendered (but are working).

At disposing of the component I'm removing the handler and resetting the styles. But as long as the Handler is assigned the DateTimePicker renders like a normal Textbox without content, but the button is working and I can also enter values. If I've overwritten the OnPaint() method I'd simply call MyBase.OnPaint() or similar...but this is an eventhandler...I'm totally clueless here right now.
I want to save datetimepicker value of date and time in two separate text files. Currently, when I select a date from datetimepicker and save it in a text file it saves both date and time as below:
5/11/2011 8:25:06 PM What I would like to happen is as below: Datefile.txt saves 5/11/2011 Timefile.txt saves 8:25:06 PM Alternative solution that can work for me would be, if the time (only the TIME) can be modified after saving as below: saved datetime into text file is 5/11/2011 8:25:06 PM
How can I modify the time only to say 12:00:00 PM. By doing so I would like to keep time as 12:00:00 but date can be changed by the user using the datetime picker.
