Is there any way to open a dateTimePicker using a PictureBox in c# windowsform? I wanted to minimize the dateTimePicker size so it can only show the drop down arrow and the calendar picture but thats not possible, so now i want to open the calendar using a PictureBox, is that possible? Thanks
Although it is not possible to programatically show picker in DateTimePicker, you can create your own this way:
[ToolboxItem(true)]
public class CustomDateTimePicker : DateTimePicker
{
private const int WM_KEYDOWN = 0x100;
private const int VK_F4 = 0x73;
private const int F4_KEYDOWN_LPARAM = 0x003e0001;
public void ShowPicker()
{
Focus();
var m = Message.Create(Handle, WM_KEYDOWN, new IntPtr(VK_F4), new IntPtr(F4_KEYDOWN_LPARAM));
WndProc(ref m);
}
}
Than in Click
handler of your picture box just call that ShowPicker
method.
private void PictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
customDateTimePicker1.ShowPicker();
}
