VB.net Programmable DateTimePicker Drop

Hi everyone, I have this code here:

Call SendMessage(dtPicker.Handle, CB_SHOWDROPDOWN, True, 0&)

This works great in combobox, but doesn't seem to work when it comes to the DateTimePicker field.

What could be the problem?

Thank!

David

No, this is for ComboBox. Native DTP control is quite a nod. It supports the DTM_CLOSEMONTHCAL message to close the calendar, but does not have a corresponding message to open it. You will need to do something ugly, like a mock mouse or keyboard input. The latter is probably best:

Private Sub ShowMonthCalendar_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ShowMonthCalendar.Click
    DateTimePicker1.Focus()
    SendKeys.Send("{F4}")
End Sub
