datetimpicker in property grid...

[lidds]

Does anyone know how to add a datetimepicker dropdown into a propertygrid in vb.net

 

Cheers

I would imagine you'd have to have an object that had a DateTime as a property.

If you add a property to the underlying class of your property grid that is set to Datetime then the Datetimepicker will automatically be shown for that field

I don't suppose you could post example script in vb.net if possible, am new to vb.net.

 

Thanks for your help

   Public Property DateTime() As DateTime
       Get
           Return m_MyDateTime
       End Get
       Set(ByVal Value As DateTime)
           MyDateTime = Value
       End Set
   End Property

 

That is an example of how to set up a property that the property grid can display, but what exactly are you trying to achieve - are you creating a user control or something and this is a property for the control, or are you actually using the PropertyGrid control on a form?

I'm using the propertygrid control on the form and just wanted the datetimepicker to be displayed for that specific field.

 

Thanks for the code, will give that ago later.

Gee, I thought that's what I said. ;) :cool:

Thanks for everyones help, but as always another question. Is there a way that I can display a button (the same as appears sometimes '...') that would run a private sub. i.e. if I had a propertygrid field that when this button is clicked it says "hello world"

 

Don't suppose again an example is possible.

I don't believe that's the purpose of the PropertyGrid. It's just meant to modify properties.
